Claim:
A grade crossing system for facilitating vehicle crossing of a railway track that includes a first rail line and a second rail line, the grade crossing system comprising: one or more field panels; and one or more gauge panels, each of the field panels comprising: a top surface occupying a first plane, a second surface occupying a second plane substantially parallel to the first plane, the second surface offset from the top surface in a direction substantially perpendicular to the first and second planes, a bottom surface, the bottom surface of each of the field panels comprising: an elevated portion; and a non-elevated portion, the non-elevated portion comprising a first planar surface; the elevated portion comprising: a second planar surface substantially parallel to the first planar surface; and an inclined surface meeting the first planar surface at a first obtuse angle and meeting the second planar surface at a second obtuse angle, wherein when the first planar surface rests on a ground surface, the inclined surface and the second planar surface are elevated above the ground surface, and a plurality of side surfaces.
