DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR AT-GRADE INTERSECTIONS NEAR HIGHWAY-RAILROAD GRADE CROSSINGS

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. These guidelines provide information helpful in the following specific areas: traffic control devices, signal interconnection, channelization, high-profile or "hump" crossings, and illumination.
