Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 18, September 16, 2024
PURPOSE: This amendment clarifies the requirements of the rule and eliminates unnecessarily restrictive wording.
(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.
*Original authority: 389.1005, RSMo 1996 and 622.027, RSMo 1985, amended 1993, 1995.
