Rail-Highway Crossing Safety. Under SAFETEA-LU, rail-highway crossing safety (elimination of hazards and the installation of protective devices at railway-highway crossings) has also been established as a component of the HSIP and is set-aside after HSIP funds have been apportioned to the States. The purpose of this program is to reduce the number of fatalities and injuries at public highway-rail grade crossings through the elimination of hazards and/or the installation/upgrade of protective devices at crossings. Most requirements of the program remain unchanged, including the State is required to conduct and systematically maintain a survey of all highways to identify those railroad crossings that may require separation, relocation, or protective devices, and establish and implement a schedule of projects for this purpose. At a minimum this schedule is to provide signs for all railway- highway crossings. [23 USC 130(d)]. Additionally, FHWA has oversight responsibility for the following Highway Safety-related activities: 159 Certification (Drug Offender's Driver's License Suspension) [Authority: 23 U.S.C. 159 and 315, 23 CFR 192].
