GRADE CROSSINGS TO BE ELM.
ATED ON FEDERAL HIGHWAYS
Federal Highway Act Provides that
Grade Crossings be Eliminated
Where At All Possible.

Washington, Dc. C. - The grade
crossing must go and they will be
eliminated wherever possible ON the
roads of the Federal Aid Highway
System, which will be built as a re-
suit Of the passage Of the Federal
Highway Act. When the roads which
form the primary or interstate system
are constructed, no grade crossing
will be allowed to remain that it is at
all practicable to avoid Every effort
will be made to make the roads Of the
secondary system equally safe, but
In this case It is recognized that elm
nation may not be practicable in all
cases at this time.
In making this announcement the
Bureau of Public Roads, United States
Department of Agriculture, under
whose supervision the fund it allotted
and construction is undertaken, is
putting into effect policy which 1t
has long advocated in principle, and
whose adoption 1t has urged with in
creasing effectiveness upon state
highway officials for some time past.
The policy is meeting with hearty CO.
operation on the part of the states,
and the American Association of State
Highway Officials by resolution has
pledged its best efforts to cooperate
to eliminate grade crossings on new
construction.
In addition. the policy finds favor
among the railroads, some of the lead
ing carriers already having lent
cheerful aid in avoiding the construc-
ton of more grade crossings.
Instead OF grade crossings, there
will be constructed, wherever possible
in the future either bridge or an I'M
derpass where roadway and railway
intersect Important roads. which
now cross and recross railroad lines
at grades hereafter will be located en-
tirely on one side of the railroad, even
though to do so may increase the
cost of construction. State officials,
realizing the need of eliminating the
grade crossings. have stated their de-
side to cooperate with the department
in carrying otu this plan.
Where crossings are unavoidable, or
where local interests justify construc-
ton OF highways to cross railroad
lines, the road will be so located as to
pass over the track or under 1t. In
most instances of this sort the rail-
roads bear one-half fthe cost of
building the bridge or underpass.
The prime object of the depart
ment's policy to eliminate grade cross
ings on Federal-aid roads is the saw
ing of human lives. This policy prob
ably will involve increased expense of
construction in the case of some roads
bit It is believed this is justified by
the saving of life. During the three
years ending with 1920, according to
the best records available to the de-
partment, 1886 lives were lost at
grade crossings in the United States
and 1854 persons were injured.
