PURPOSE: This rule prescribes the standards for maintaining visibility at public grade crossings with rail fixed guideway systems.
- (1) It is the duty of every rail fixed guideway system (RFGS) operating within Missouri to maintain right of way at public rail-highway 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) No sign, buildings, or other structures either temporary or permanent may be erected on the right of way of any RFGS within two hundred fifty feet (250') each way from any rail-highway grade crossing where the sign, building, or other structure would materially obscure approaching trains from the view of travelers on the highway, unless otherwise authorized by this division.
