Passive Crossings

All passive public crossings
must
have a stop or yield sign installed with the crossbuck sign. Passive crossings
must have
:
  • Sufficient approach sight distance down the tracks to allow a driver to stop before the crossing when an approaching train is seen.
  • Sufficient sight distance down the tracks to allow a tractor-trailer to clear the tracks from a stop at the crossing before a train arrives.
All new public crossings are recommended to include active warning devices. Refer to Part 8 of the TMUTCD for
more information
