Missouri HB3318 mandates drivers to stop at railroad crossings for any on-track equipment, not just trains.
Missouri HB3318 amends existing laws to require drivers to stop at railroad crossings for any on-track equipment, including trains. Drivers must stop within fifty feet but not less than fifteen feet from the nearest rail if a crossing gate is lowered, a human flagman signals, an electric or mechanical signal device warns, or any other traffic sign or regulation requires a stop. Violators face a class C misdemeanor. This change applies to all vehicles, including commercial motor vehicles, ensuring safety at railroad crossings.
