Traffic channelization devices have found new application at
highway-rail grade crossings with active warning devices. Numerous
studies conducted at locations where they have been installed show
positive changes in unsafe driver behavior as a result of the
treatments. When meeting certain requirements, traffic
channelization devices and median barriers are an approved
supplemental safety measure for the establishment of quiet zones.
Traffic channelization devices are low cost and this makes them an
attractive option for improving safety at highway-rail grade
crossings.
