After stopping as required herein and upon proceeding when it is safe to do so, the driver of any said vehicle shall cross only in such gear of the vehicle that there will be no necessity for changing gears while traversing such crossing and the driver shall not shift gears while crossing the track or tracks. This section shall not apply to grade crossings which are no longer used for railroad traffic and which have been abandoned by the railroad company provided that appropriate signs have been posted to indicate that such grade crossing has been abandoned or is no longer used for any railroad traffic. This section shall not apply to grade crossings where the railroad track has been removed or paved over and the warning signs erected by the railroad in accordance with R.S.48:12-58 have been removed, provided that in such case written notice is given to the Commissioner of Transportation and to the appropriate State or local authority having jurisdiction over the highway, road, or street prior to the undertaking of such removal or paving of railroad track. This section shall also not apply to grade crossings marked with a sign reading "Exempt Crossing." The Commissioner of Transportation is hereby vested with the exclusive authority to designate and mark any railroad grade crossings across any street or highway in this State with a sign "Exempt Crossing." The commissioner shall hold a public hearing before designating any crossing as exempt with notice of such hearing to be served in accordance with regulations promulgated by the commissioner. The commissioner shall designate a grade crossing an exempt crossing when the potential for damage and injury from accidents between motor vehicles required to stop at grade crossings and other motor vehicles traveling in the same direction exceeds that between a train and the vehicles required to stop by law. Crossings designated as exempt crossings may include, but shall not be limited to, industrial, spurline and secondary crossings. The commissioner shall promulgate such regulations as are necessary to effectuate the purpose of the establishment of exempt crossings.

Notice of any such intended crossing shall be given to the nearest superintendent or trainmaster of such railroad. Such notice shall specify the approximate time of crossing and a reasonable time shall be given to such railroad to provide proper protection at such crossing. After concluding satisfactory arrangements with the proper officer of the railroad and before making any such crossing, the person operating or moving any such vehicle or equipment shall first stop the same not less than 15 feet nor more than 50 feet from the nearest rail of such railroad, and while so stopped shall listen and look in both directions along such track or tracks for any approaching train or other on-track equipment and for signals indicating the approach of a train or other on-track equipment, and shall not proceed until the crossing can be made safely. No such crossing shall be made when warning is given by automatic signal or crossing gates or a flagman or otherwise of the immediate approach of a railroad train or car or other on-track equipment. If the flagman is provided by the railroad, movement over the crossing shall be made under his jurisdiction. (c) Any person violating the provisions of this section shall be punished by a fine of not more than $50 for the first offense and for the second offense a fine of not more than $100, or by imprisonment for not more than 30 days, or by both such fine and imprisonment. (d) This section shall not be construed as limiting the authority of any municipality to adopt police regulations governing the operation of omnibuses and to provide penalties for their violation, or to relieve the owner or operator of such omnibus subject to the jurisdiction of the Board of Public Utilities from any penalty prescribed by the laws of this State for violation of orders of such board. amended 1938, c.164, s.1; 1941, c.260, s.3; 1951, c.23, s.70 (1951, c.23, s.70 repealed 1953, c.294, s.2); 1952, c.68 (1952, c.68 repealed 1953, c.294, s.3); 1953, c.294, s.1; 1971, c.393, s.1; 1973, c.177; 1979, c.48; 2005, c.147, s.9; 2019, c.422, s.2.
