HB 671 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Requires drivers to stop at railroad crossings for any on-track equipment in addition to trains

HB 671 requires drivers to stop at railroad crossings for any approaching railroad equipment (such as maintenance vehicles or construction machinery), not just trains. Drivers must stop 15-50 feet from the rail when signals warn of approaching equipment, gates are lowered, or equipment is visible and in close proximity. This applies to all vehicles, including commercial motor vehicles, which must also stop before crossing if they cannot clear the tracks safely. The bill aims to standardize stopping requirements for all railroad-related hazards at crossings. (Note: The bill was dropped from the calendar in May 2025 per the provided actions.)
