NTL Classification:NTL-RAIL TRANSPORTATION-Railroad Highway Grade Crossings
-
Abstract:More than three-fourths of the 219,000 public railroad grade crossings nationwide are equipped with passive warning signs only. A two-phase study is now underway to develop improved passive signing for use at these grade crossings. The study is a pool-funded effort involving 25 states, the Federal Highway Administration and the Federal Railroad Administration. This report describes seven signing configurations (at crossing signs and advance warning signs) tested in two states during Phase I of the study, the test sites, the types of data collected, the experimental variables, the analysis procedure, and the results of Phase I. Upon completion of Phase II, which involves nationwide testing, a final report will be written making recommendations on what signs should be adopted for driver warning at railroad grade crossings.
