Traffic Control Devices at Grade Crossings
WEBINAR: September 22, 2026, 11:00AM - 12:00PM PT
The next webinar in the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) Joint Webinar Series covers Traffic Control Devices at Grade Crossings.
These specialized systems — ranging from flashing lights and automatic gates to pavement markings and signs — serve as the vital intersection management tools where local roads meet railroad tracks.
Understanding these devices is essential for maintaining a safe and efficient regional transportation network. Properly managed crossing controls serve as a critical line of defense in reducing roadway conflicts, protecting local road users, and minimizing traffic disruptions near rail corridors.
