GRADE CROSSINGS
Part 8830.2730 - CONSOLIDATING GRADE CROSSING
Consolidation of grade crossings occurs when one or more grade crossings are vacated, with the traffic directed to nearby crossings. Standards for vacation are contained in part 8830.2720.
Grade crossings are also consolidated by changing roadway alignments so that two or more roadway alignments with grade crossings are combined into one roadway alignment with one crossing. If the change in alignments results in a new grade crossing, it must meet the criteria in part 8830.2710 and be authorized as provided for in part 8830.2700.
