SA 1829 Exhibit C <br /> Section 1535 204 Grade Line of Highway Approaches <br /> a) Unless the Commission otherwise specifically orders, the grade line <br /> of highway approaches to grade crossings hereafter established or <br /> substantially reconstructed shall be as follows: From the outer rail <br /> of the outermost track coincident with a tangent to the tops of the <br /> rails for about 24 inches, thence for a distance of 25 feet ascending <br /> or descending at a grade which shall not deviate more than 1% <br /> from said tangent, thence to the right-of-way line (and as far <br /> beyond as the Commission's control may extend in any case) at a <br /> grade not to exceed 5%. Where super-elevated track or tracks <br /> make strict compliance with this Section impractical the grade of <br /> approaches shall be constructed so as to provide the best vertical <br /> alignment under the circumstances with due regard to surface <br /> regularity. <br /> b) The width, transverse contour, type of surface or pavement, and <br /> other characteristics of each such approach to a grade crossing <br /> shall be suitable for the highway and shall in every case conform to <br /> the requirements of good practice. <br />
