Or. Admin. R. 741-200-0050 - Information to Accompany Application
Unless exceptions have been authorized pursuant to OAR 741-200-0060, each application shall be accompanied by an engineered plan (drawing). The plan shall include:
(1) A vicinity map, drawn to scale, showing
in detail the vicinity of the crossing, project site and surrounding area road
grid. The map shall show:
(a) The angle of
intersection of the centerlines of railroad and roadway. In cases where such
intersection is on a curved section of roadway or railroad, the angle of
intersection shall be the angle formed by a tangent to the curve or curves at
the point of intersection;
(b) The
right-of-way lines of the roadway and the railroad;
(c) The location of all public and private
crossings within the limits of the map;
(d) The location of all structures or other
obstructions to vision that are between approaching vehicles and trains;
(e) The location of all signs and
signals that govern the flow of rail or roadway traffic within the safe
stopping distance and the location of all railroad signs and signals within the
grade crossing approach circuit; and
(f) Maximum distance of unobstructed view
along the tracks, indicated by sight lines drawn from:
(A) Points on the roadway 18 feet on each
side of the centerline of the nearest track; and
(B) Points on the roadway at the distance
from the centerline of the nearest track in accordance with the table of safe
stopping distances.
(2) Drawings for Active Protective Devices.
When active protective devices are to be installed or altered, a drawing (scale
of 1 inch = 20 feet is recommended) shall be provided showing the location of
proposed signal foundations in relation to distances from centerlines of
highway and nearest railroad track. This drawing shall also show the proposed
position of other related structures and devices such as guardrails, shoulders
of roadway, curbs of roadway and part-time turn restriction signals.
(3) Vehicle Traffic Signal Plan (if
applicable) with Operation Description.
(4) Roadway Profile. A profile showing, to
scale, the grade of the roadway within the safe stopping distance on each side
of the crossing.
(5) Railroad
Profile. A profile showing the track profile within 250 feet of the crossing.
(6) Drawings for Separated
Crossings. All applications to construct or alter separated structures shall
include engineered drawings showing the vertical and horizontal clearances
above and adjacent to the railroad tracks that will exist upon completion. Such
clearances shall not be less than those prescribed in CFR
646.212(a)(3)
as stated in the Appendix to Subpart B of Part 646-Horizontal and Vertical
Clearance Provisions for Overpass and Underpass StructuresBU.
(7) Drawings for Undercrossings. All
applications to construct or alter undercrossings shall include engineered
drawings showing the clearances beneath the structure that will be provided for
roadway use. Minimum clearances shall comply with AASHTO.
