Abstract:

The design of at-grade intersections near highway-railroad grade crossings is challenging because of the interaction between the two geometric features. Their designs can have a critical effect on safety and operation at both features. This report provides background information regarding a number of issues related to the following specific areas: traffic control devices, signal interconnection, channelization, high-profile or "hump" crossings, and illumination.
