|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(I) A CLEARLY VISIBLE ELECTRIC OR MECHANICAL
SIGNAL DEVICE WARNS OF THE IMMEDIATE APPROACH OR PASSAGE
OF A RAILROAD TRAIN;
(II) A CROSSING GATE IS LOWERED;
(III) A FLAGMAN SIGNALS THE APPROACH OR
PASSAGE OF A RAILROAD TRAIN;
(IV) A RAILROAD TRAIN APPROACHING WITHIN
1,500 FEET OF THE CROSSING GIVES A SIGNAL AUDIBLE TO
TRAFFIC APPROACHING THE CROSSING AND THE RAILROAD TRAIN,
BECAUSE OF ITS SPEED OR NEARNESS TO THE CROSSING, IS AN
IMMEDIATE DANGER; OR
(V) A RAILROAD TRAIN IS PLAINLY VISIBLE AND
IS IN OR IS APPROACHING DANGEROUSLY NEAR TO THE
CROSSING.
(B) PASSAGE THROUGH GATE OR BARRIER PROHIBITED.
A PERSON MAY NOT DRIVE ANY VEHICLE THROUGH, AROUND,
OR UNDER ANY CROSSING GATE OR BARRIER AT A RAILROAD GRADE
CROSSING WHILE THE GATE OR BARRIER IS CLOSED OR IS BEING
OPENED OR CLOSED.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as
Art. 66 1/2, §11-701.
In subsection (a)(2)(i) of this section and
wherever else appropriate in this subtitle,
the phrase "approach or passage" is
substituted for "approach". This conforms to
the usage in subsection (a)(2)(iii) and serves
to include situations where rolling stock has
already "approached" the crossing and is now
"passing through" it.
In subsection (a) (2) (iii) of this section, the
present reference to a "human" flagman is
deleted to conform to the adequate reference
in §21-704(d) of this subtitle to a "flagman";
the use of mechanical flaggers should not be
precluded.
The only other changes are in style.
21-702. ALL VEHICLES TO STOP AT CERTAIN RAILROAD
CROSSINGS.
(A) POSTING OF STOP SIGN.
THE STATE HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION AND ANY LOCAL
AUTHORITY WITH THE APPROVAL OF THE STATE HIGHWAY
ADMINISTRATION MAY PLACE A STOP SIGN AT ANY RAILROAD
GRADE CROSSING OF A HIGHWAY THAT THE LOCAL AUTHORITY OR
STATE HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION DESIGNATES AS A
