Quiet Zone Solutions

Neighborhood Photo

A Quiet zone is a section of rail line that is greater than a half mile in length, contains one or more public highway-rail grade crossings, and locomotive horns are not routinely sounded.

Quiet zones require that automatic grade crossing warning devices (flashing lights and gates) must be installed at all crossings within the proposed zone and advance signs installed on all roadway approaches warn motorists that train horns are not sounded.

To implement a quiet zone, the Quiet Zone Risk Index must be below the Nationwide Significant Risk Threshold. To lower the Quiet Zone Risk Index, supplementary safety measures can be put into place. Such measures include:

  • Gates with medians or canalization devices or traffic separators
  • One-way streets equipped with gates that fully block the street
  • Temporary closure (i.e., nighttime closure)
  • Permanent closure
  • Four quadrant gates

The goal is to adequately compensate for the lack of train horns and/or reduce the risk to a level below the Nationwide Significant Risk Threshold.
