| Comments |
In response to a 2016 multiple fatality at a highway-rail crossing, the Colorado Department of Treansportation proposed we enhance safety at railroad crossings. To accomplish this: necessary, temporary safety measures can be installed quickly for the public health, safety and welfare of the traveling public that use at-grade highway-rail crossings in Colorado, while a road authority, railroad, railroad corporation, or rail fixed guideway system performs the necessary design, plans, and estimates for an application for a more permanent solution. |
