189.550 Vehicles used for transporting children to stop at railroad crossings. Operators of all buses and motor vehicles used for transporting children shall stop their
vehicles before crossing any railroad when tracks are at the same level of the roadway.
The stop shall be made not less than fifteen (15) feet nor more than fifty (50) feet from
the nearest track over which the highway crosses, except where the crossing is protected
by gates or a flagman employed by the railroad. After making the stop, the operator shall
open the service door and carefully look in each direction and listen for approaching
trains or maintenance vehicles before proceeding. If visibility is impaired at the required
distance for stopping under this section, the operator may allow the vehicle to slowly roll
forward for the purpose of gaining the visibility necessary to safely cross the railroad
tracks. Effective: March 18, 2003
