CFW Railroad Crossings

Railroad Crossing Signal Upgrades: Railroad Signals: The City of Fort Worth participates in the TxDOT railroad program to upgrade crossings that have only crossbuck signs with the installation of modern crossing signals and gates. Railroad Crossing Surface Upgrades: Staff evaluates crossings with poor roadway surfaces for the installation of smoother crossing surfaces. The railroad signals feature class is static and is not updated on a daily basis.

A bar along the edge of something steep, such as stairs or a cliff, to prevent people or cars from falling off. Guard rail, guardrails, or protective guarding, are a boundary feature and may be a means to prevent or deter access to dangerous or off-limits areas while allowing light and visibility so you can see past it. In traffic engineering, a highway guardrail may prevent a vehicle from hitting roadside obstacles, which may be either man-made (signs, culvert inlets, utility poles, trees, or natural foundations), running off the road and going down a steep embankment, or veering off the roadway into oncoming traffic (commonly referred to as a median barrier). A guardrail is effectively one strong band that transfers the force of the vehicle to the rail elements, posts, and end terminals or anchors. A run of guardrail must be anchored at each terminating end either by transitioning the rail into a fixed anchor such as a bridge rail or with an end terminal or end anchor placed in the ground or within an embankment. This is a static feature class and is not updated daily.

The City of Fort Worth will have End of Road Barricades to maximize the safety of construction workers, pedestrians, and drivers. Type I style folding barricade is so named because it has only one reflective panel or rail. Type II barricades differ from Style I in that it has two reflective rails instead of one. Like Style I and Style II barricades, the Type III name refers to the number of reflective panels; in this case, three. The barricade feature class is static and is not updated on a daily basis.
