PURPOSE: This rule prescribes the standards for maintaining visibility at public grade crossings with fixed guideway transit systems.
- (1) It shall be the duty of every fixed guideway transit system operating within Missouri to maintain right-of-way at public grade crossings so that it will be reasonably clear of vegetation, undergrowth and other debris for a distance of two hundred fifty feet (250’) each way from the crossings.
- (2) After the effective date of this rule, no sign, buildings or other structures either temporary or permanent shall be erected on the right-of-way of any transit system within two hundred fifty feet (250') each way from any rail-highway grade crossing where those things would materially obscure approaching trains from the view of travelers on the highway, unless otherwise authorized by this division.
