J. MILLARD TAWES, Governor                      249

to be under the new sub-title "Industrial Crossings", and to read as
follows:

64. (a) The legislative body of any county, Baltimore City or
any municipality in the State is authorized to designate, with the
advice and subject to the approval of the State Roads Commission,
industrial crossings across any State roads within the county, city or
municipality. No industrial crossing shall be designated which will
be so hazardous as to endanger traffic on the public road.

(b)  The person, firm or corporation, herein designated as user,
desiring to use an industrial crossing across a State road shall apply
to the legislative body of the county, city or municipality wherein
the road is located for designation of the crossing. No crossing shall
be designated unless and until the user has paid, or agreed to pay,
any and all sums required to strengthen or to modify the road in
order to be used as an industrial crossing. The user, in addition,
shall be liable for payment of any and all damage resulting to the
road from its use as an industrial crossing. The legislative body of
the county, city or municipality may also determine with the advice
and approval of the State Roads Commission the type and number
of signs, markers or other signal devices required by the designa-
tion of any industrial crossing; and the user of the crossing shall
pay for the cost of manufacturing, installing and maintaining such
signs and signal devices.

(c)   Wherever any industrial crossing has been designated as pro-
vided herein, vehicles of the user of the crossing shall have the
exclusive right to use the industrial crossing and such use shall be
subject to such conditions as to its use as the State Roads Commis-
sion may require. When using the crossing, the vehicles of the user
shall be exempted from any weight limitations or registration
requirements imposed by this article ARTICLE 66½ OF THIS
CODE.

(d)  Any industrial crossing once designated may continue in
existence for so long as the user shall make actual use of the cross-
ing, subject to the right of the State Roads Commission , THE
DEPARTMENT OF MARYLAND STATE POLICE OR THE
POLICE DEPARTMENT OF THE COUNTY WHERE SUCH
CROSSING IS LOCATED to terminate the use of the crossing, after
notice to the user and opportunity for the user to be heard before
the Commission, OR SUCH POLICE DEPARTMENT INITIATING
THE ACTION, on the ground that the crossing has become a
hazard to traffic because of increased traffic or for other good cause.

Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That this Act shall take effect
June 1, 1964.
