New Highway-Rail Crossing Rule for Hazmat Carriers
Posted on 9/27/2013 by James Griffin
A new joint rulemaking by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) aims to prevent highway-rail grade crossing crashes. The new rule prohibits drivers of commercial motor vehicles containing certain consignments of hazardous materials from driving across highway-rail grade crossings unless there is sufficient clearance to drive completely through the crossing without stopping.
The rule was published pursuant to Section 32509 of the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) and a decade of recommendations from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). Pre-rulemaking regulatory analyses indicate that this rule will prevent 2.62 crashes per year over ten years, without significant economic impact.

The instructor was very engaging and helped less experienced people understand the concepts.

Lion was very extensive. There was a lot of things that were covered that were actually pertaining to what I do and work with. Great Job. I will be coming back in three years!

We have a very busy work schedule and using Lion enables us to take the course at our own time. It makes it easy for me to schedule my employees' training.

I was able to present my scenario to the instructor and worked thru the regulations together. In the past, I attended another training firm's classes. Now, I have no intention of leaving Lion!
