Oversize
 Vehicles

Whenever railroad protective devices are proposed, the crossing should be evaluated for any
oversize vehicles that could damage railroad signal equipment
. Possible solutions include:
  • Avoiding use of cantilevers.
  • Installation of median with flasher/gate to remove need for cantilever.
  • Use of cantilever that does not cover all approach lanes.
  • Use of non-standard cantilever
    23 foot 4 inches minimum
     of vertical clearance.
  • Move masts further than design minimums from edge of roadway or shoulder.
  • Use of cantilever further out than design minimum to cover lanes.
