Railroad crossings: quiet zones.
Summary
Existing law generally requires a railroad to provide for the sounding of a horn or other similar device when a train will be entering a highway grade crossing, except in areas where a quiet zone has been established consistent with the requirements of federal regulations. This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact legislation to facilitate the process of establishing local safety enhancements at railroad crossings necessary for the approval of quiet zones.
