try this: <br />http://www.schoolbusing.org/pdf/railroadx.pdf#search='railroad%20exempt' <br /> <br />basically means busses don't have to stop at that railroad track for the normal "stop open door, look" method. <br /> <br />This goes into more detail: http://www.nwsa.com/Secure/safetytopic0400.pdf#search='railroad%20exempt%20sign' <br /> <br />Listing the DOT rules as being: <br />[quote]QUOTE: Commercial Motor Vehicles required to be placarded and all cargo tanks (full or empty) must <br />stop within 15-50 feet of railroad crossings until it is safe to proceed. Tracks must be crossed in <br />a single gear (no shifting allowed). <br />Exceptions to these requirements are: <br />! tracks used exclusively for industrial switching purposes, within a business district; <br />! crossing when a police officer or crossing flagman directs traffic to proceed; <br />! crossing controlled by a functioning highway traffic signal; <br />! abandoned railroad crossing which is marked with a sign indicating that the rail line is <br />abandoned; <br />! industrial or spur line crossing marked with a sign reading “EXEMPT.”[/quote]
