Abstract
The diagnostic study team concept was used at thirty-six rail-highway grade crossing sites in Texas as a part of an overall study on rail-highway grade crossing safety. The objective of the diagnostic study phase was to determine the type of protection that would provide acceptable efficiency under the conditions encountered on the various classifications of grade crossings. As a result of the investigations at the thirty-six crossings, recommendations were made for improving the safety conditions and included the development of new advance warning signs and sign location criteria. These signs were evaluated at nine crossing sites in a follow-up study. In addition, recommendations have been made for implementation of engineering and environmental studies to improve safety at specific grade crossings.
