The rules encourage joint establishment of quiet zones where there are multiple <br />roadway jurisdictions. Generally, on government agency will take the lead and <br />coordinate the process. <br />5.0 PROPOSED ALTERNATIVES <br />The following is a discussion regarding the feasibility of installing SSMs at each of the <br />crossings. One-way streets and grade separations are impractical for the City of <br />Roseville. <br />5.1 Center Medians <br />Center medians have become a popular SSM alternative for local communities <br />because they can be inexpensive compared to other SSM options and are easy <br />to install. The rules require that the medians be raised and be a minimum of <br />100 feet long. In certain exceptions, medians can be shortened to 60 feet. If a <br />median is less than 6 inches high, delineator signs must be installed on the <br />median. <br />5.2 Four Quadrant Gates <br />Four quadrant gates systems have two additional exit gates installed compared <br />to a traditional signal system. These exit gates operate on a delay to the <br />normal gates to allow vehicles to clear the crossing. The addition of the two <br />exit gates requires a complete rewiring of the crossing circuitry and generally <br />will require the installation of loop detectors in the pavement. Loop detectors <br />would detect if a vehicle is stopped on the track and would keep the existing <br />gate in the up position, so the vehicle is not trapped between two gates. <br />The rewiring of the signal system is needed because the exit gate circuitry is <br />complex and needs a new controller and additional battery backup capacity. <br />The Railroad policy is that the Road Authority will be responsible for the <br />installation and maintenance of the loop detectors and the two additional <br />gates. <br />Detailed cost estimates to upgrade are not available at this stage of a project <br />but the cost will be around $350,000 to $450,000 plus maintenance costs of <br />$2,000 to $3,000 per year per crossing. Complete new signal systems may be <br />required. <br />5.3 Crossing Closure <br />Permanent closure of a crossing is the removal of the crossing surface and <br />roadway approaches. There are also provisions in the rules for temporary <br />closures, usually based on time of day. The rules require that a positive <br />indication to the railroad is required that the crossing barricades are in place. <br />
