Occasionally other parties may have projects which impact TxDOT and railroad companies. Work may affect either the railroad and/or TxDOT right of way. Examples of these projects may include:

Quiet Zones are discussed in Chapter 11.

Any new road, driveway or pathway impacting TxDOT right of way and crossing a railroad shall not be approved until the TxDOT district has a copy of an approved railroad agreement allowing said crossing of the railroad property. A copy of the agreement shall be posted into the TRIMS database program (see Chapter 12).

Any new traffic signal on TxDOT right of way or maintained by TxDOT that is interconnected with a railroad crossing shall be approved in writing by both Traffic Safety Division and RRD as detailed in Chapter 7. A copy of the signed railroad request and the agreement with the railroad shall be posted into the TRIMS database program.
