When a grade crossing equipped with active warning devices exists within the activity area,provisions <br /> should be made for keeping flaggers informed as to the activation status of these warning devices. <br /> 9. When a grade crossing exists within the activity area, drivers operating on the left-hand side of the normal <br /> center line should be provided with comparable warning devices as for drivers operating on the right-hand <br /> side of the normal center line. <br /> 10.Early coordination with the railroad company or light rail tf'ansit agency shodoe before workstarts. <br /> Option: <br /> 11.A flagger or a uniformed law enforcement officer may be used at the grade crossing to minimize the <br /> probability that vehicles are stopped within 15 feet of the grade crossing,measured from both sides of the <br /> outside rails. <br /> Support: <br /> 12.For State highways,see Deparlinent of Transportation's Standard Plan M.See Section 1A.11 for information <br /> regarding this publication. <br /> i <br /> .
