A bill for an act relating to required railway crossing signs, signals, and gate arms.

This bill requires railroad companies in Iowa to install at least two large, clear warning signs and sufficient gate arms, flashing signals, and crossing lights at all railway crossings with public roads. It mandates that railroads cover all costs for these safety measures, including installation and maintenance, rather than sharing expenses with local governments. The law holds railroads liable for damages if they fail to comply, making them solely responsible for ensuring crossing safety. This directly affects railroad operators and impacts all public roadways intersecting with rail lines across Iowa.
