SUBJECT: Railroad At-Grade Crossings: Signing and Pavement Markings

This Bulletin introduces revisions to the FDOT Design Manual (FDM) and the FDOT Standard Plans for Road and Bridge Construction (Standard Plans) to further enhance safety at highway-railroad at-grade crossings.

REQUIREMENTS

1. Delete FDM 220.2.1.1 and replace it with Attachment ‘A’.

2. Standard Plans, Index 509-070 (Railroad Grade Crossing Traffic Control Devices) has been updated to remove signing and pavement marking details and is released as an Interim Revision

(IR509-070-1) to the FY 2020-21 Standard Plans. See Attachment ‘B’. An Interim Revision

Railroad At-Grade Crossings: Signing and Pavement Markings

Improve Safety, Enhance Mobility, Inspire Innovation www.fdot.gov will also replace the original version of the Index published on October 30, 2020 with the FY 2021-

22 Standard Plans.

3. Standard Plans, Index 711-001 (Pavement Markings) has been updated to include a ‘Railroad

Dynamic Envelope (RDE) Pavement Marking Detail’ and ‘Railroad Crossing Pavement Message’ details. This update is released as an Interim Revision (IR711-001-1) to the FY 2020-21 Standard

Plans. See Attachment ‘C’. An Interim Revision will also replace the original version of the Index published on October 30, 2020 with the FY 2021-22 Standard Plans.

IMPLEMENTATION

These requirements are effective immediately for all projects where the Railroad Dynamic Envelope

Safety Countermeasures (per Traffic Engineering and Operations Bulletin 20-01, Roadway Design

Bulletin 20-02, Program Management Bulletin 20-01, Construction Bulletin 20-02, and Freight and

Multimodal Operations Bulletin 20-01) have not been installed. For projects where Railroad Dynamic

Envelope Safety Countermeasures have already been installed, this new criteria may be used if the

District determines that it will enhance the safety of the railroad crossing.

220.2.1.1 Signing and Pavement Markings

Exhibits 220-1 through 220-4 provide typical signing and pavement markings for Active Grade Crossings. Refer to the MUTCD for definitions and signing and pavement markings at Passive Grade Crossings.

Do not place turning movement lane-use pavement markings on the upstream approach between the railroad crossing pavement message and the tracks.

Where intersections occur between the W10-1 sign shown in Exhibits 220-1 through

220-4 and the tracks, place an additional W10-1 sign between the intersection and the railroad gate.

Include Railroad Dynamic Envelope (RDE) pavement markings at Active and Passive

Grade Crossings on:

State Roads, State-owned rails, and

State-owned property.

Any Variations to not install an RDE are to be approved by the Chief Engineer.

The determination of slightly or significantly skewed is at the discretion of the EOR.

Detail RDE pavement markings in the Plans in accordance with Standard Plans, Index

711-001 and the details shown in Exhibits 220-1 through 220-4. Ensure the details in the plans include the following:

(1) Orient RDE pavement markings:

(a) In the direction of the travel lanes at all approaches upstream of the crossing (i.e., transverse to the travel lanes).

i. For slightly skewed railroads extend the RDE markings transverse across all lanes, as shown in Exhibits 220-2 and 220-3.

ii. For significantly skewed railroads, step the RDE markings transverse across each lane, as shown in Exhibit 220-4.

(b) Along the railroad (i.e., parallel to the railroad tracks) for areas between tracks and downstream of the crossing.

(c) To maximize the visibility of the RDE pattern for both the upstream and downstream sides of the track. Locate markings in a manner to ensure the “X” pattern is identifiable to the motorists and bicyclists and centered in the lanes to the extent practicable.

(2) Place RDE markings through the foul area as shown in Exhibits 220-3 and 220-

4. If the railroad owner will not allow the RDE markings through the foul area, or the substrate material will not provide an appropriate bonding surface for the markings, keep the RDE markings outside of the railroad’s foul area as shown in Exhibits 220-1 and 220-2.

(3) Replace all skip lane lines with solid lines for the following distance: From stop bar to stop bar of each approach, then upstream and downstream for a Distance “A” plus 15 feet. For Distance “A”, see table in Exhibit 220-1.

(4) Continue solid longitudinal edge line, lane line, and centerline markings through the RDE pattern, maintaining a 9-inch clear space between the RDE pattern and the longitudinal lane lines or gore areas.

(5) Refurbish all existing longitudinal lane lines, edge lines, and centerlines to remain in-place for the following minimum distance: From stop bar to stop bar of each approach, then upstream and downstream for a Distance “A” plus 15 feet. For Distance “A”, see table in Exhibit 220-1.

(6) Place RPMs at 10’ maximum on center for the following distance: From stop bar to stop bar of each approach excluding the foul area, then upstream and downstream for a Distance “A” plus 15 feet. For Distance “A”, see table in Exhibit

220-1.

(7) For conditions where multiple tracks are configured non-parallel to each other, maintain the typical RDE pattern and fill the gap between the tracks, as necessary.

(8) RDE markings must not interfere with any pedestrian crosswalk.

Consider the following additional provisions for Active and Passive Grade Crossings:

For significantly skewed angles, corridor highway lighting for the following minimum distance: From stop bar to stop bar of each approach, then upstream and downstream for a Distance “A” plus 15 feet. For Distance “A”, see table in Exhibit 220-1.

For significantly skewed angles, curves, and intersections directly adjacent to crossings, consider using additional channelization techniques for the roadway alignment. Some channelization techniques include Internally Illuminated RPMs and Tubular Markers. When crest vertical curves impede the visibility of RPMs, Tubular Markers should be used. Consider excluding downstream RDE pattern when traffic queuing is not expected.

Consider the use of through lane-use arrows. For turn lanes, a route shield may be used in conjunction with the through lane-use arrow.

Remove all existing traffic control signs and pavement markings (e.g., turning signs and turning arrow lane-use pavement markings) from the upstream approach that may lead to driver confusion on the correct turning point for downstream turning movements.

For pavement marking material selection, see FDM 230.

For side roads with Active and Passive Grade Crossings within 100 feet of the edge of traveled way, include W10-2, W10-3 or W10-4 signs on the mainline state road in accordance with the MUTCD.
