TRAFFIC ADVISORY: New Railroad Crossing Exemption on US-20
ST. ANTHONY - Effective immediately, buses and restricted trucks will no longer have to stop at the railroad crossing on US-20 just south of St. Anthony at milepost 344.4. With this crossing now exempt, the train will now have to stop before crossing the tracks.
ITD will post electronic advisory signs on the northbound and southbound lanes to alert drivers they no longer need to stop at the crossing.
Here's a picture of the RR Xing.
After a double-fatality crash involving two local high school students August 7, the Eastern Idaho Railroad, ITD and local residents worked diligently to find a quick solution to the issue, and agreed to exempt this railroad crossing.
Once the train proceeds to cross, ALL vehicles will still have to stop and wait for the train to cross to a safe distance.
