ELIMINATING DEATH
CROSsINGsON ROADS
MINNESOTA HIGHWAY DEPART.
MENT SEPARATING 5R3
RAILROAD CROSSINGS
ON TRUNK ROUTE
SYSTEM.

Elimination of 523 out of $50
railroad crossings on the Minnesota
trunk highway system is made pub
lie by Charles NJ Babcock, state
highway commissioner, in a highway
bulletin this week. Separations ac-
compIished number 263 and 260
others are in prospect. The 3O7
grade crossings remaining on the
big 7,O0O-mile state system, the bull
letin states, are those in which local
conditions do not seem TO justify at
this time the expenditure necessary
to effect separations.
State highway projects this year,
the bulletin continues, will eliminate
So grade crossing death traps, 81
by reIocations, by overhead cross
ings and 8 by enterprises. Last
year S5 such crossings were elimin-
ated, SO by re-locations, 9 by over
heads and II by underpasses. In
previous years the total was 113
Examinations, 81 by re-locations 15
by overheads and 81 by underpasses.
Plans are completed for go addi-
tional Examinations, 202 by re-loca-
tions, 80 by overheads and 26 by
underpasses.
Although federal highway aid
cannot be expended on highway pro-
iects involving grade crossings
which are physically possible of
elimination" said Commissioner
Babcock, ''the Minnesota department
has effected such eliminations only
where the expense was reasonably
warranted. However, the benefit Of
any doubt always has been given
the road user in these death trap
elimination plans A number of
grade separations have been adj
versely criticised but there is con-
fidence here that the wisdom of
those changes viii be established in
the near future"
Grade crossing elimination in
Minnesota is part of the general
policy of not only improving and
maintaining trunk routes as well as
laws and funds will permit, highway
officials said, but of building-in
safety with superelevated curves and
like special construction, erection of
guard rails, posting of warning signs
and so forth.
