In order toimplement this program, the Region will inspect each railroad- highway grade crossing and will make any changes necessary to update the crossing. , The following are the'areas which v~ill be emphasized during the iuspeetion: 1. The installation Of advance warnin5 signs and erossbueks where non presently exist or where the present signs do not conform to the manu~l (non reflectorized, improperly located, etc.) 2. The instalIation of the no passing pennant when centerline pavement markings exist a~d a no passing zone starts at the crossing. ~. The installation of pavement markings, to include the railroad advance warning symbol, crossbars, clearance line, centerline on roadways 16 foot wide or wider and edgelines on roads 20 foot wide or wider at all paved crossings not currently marked. Thermoplastic markings are to be used to upgrade present markings or at unmarked crossing where the paved surface is in good condition and resurfacing is not scheduled for at least 2 years after placement. Painted markings are to be used at all other unmarked paved crossings. If a municipality currently marks a crossing but fails to install all eligible markings, such as the edge- lines, the markings not currently installed should be installed with this project.
