To require railroad companies to provide alternative entry and exit ways

HB 2878 requires railroad companies to provide alternative access routes when their maintenance or construction work blocks a state road that serves as the sole entry/exit for residents for more than six hours (for emergency vehicles) or more than 24 hours (for all vehicles). The bill specifically applies to state roads where rail companies are conducting work, mandating that they coordinate with the Division of Highways to minimize disruptions. It directly affects railroad companies, which must arrange these alternatives, and residents who rely on the blocked road for daily access. This policy change focuses on preventing prolonged community isolation during rail infrastructure work.
