Out of curiosity can you make your reversing alarms even more annoying? Or have we managed to reach the pinnacle of there tech tree?

No but because they are thinking of you and to save any respite they can also fit forward travel alarm and a stationary vehicle alarm.
Although we have heard reports that operators no longer know whether they are coming or going.

That's why they now paint arrows on the track frames

They really do think of everything don't they. And a nice reflective arrow looks so much better on Instagram than sacking the plant operator that doesn't know the difference between a sprocket and an idler.

If that's the case then obviously all operatives should have a travel alarm and beacons mounted on their hard hat, this would significantly reduce the risk of pedestrian-pedestrian collision incidents.

Naturally these would have to be worn at all times especially in the canteen as a collision whilst carrying a hot cup of tea could be fatal.
