This guideline is intended for railway and road authority employees or contractors assigned to the inspection, maintenance, repair and testing of road/railway grade crossings and traffic control signals that are interconnected for the purpose of preemption of traffic control signals or the activation of Prepare To Stop at Railway Crossing sign(s) (WB-6) beacon lights.

This guide is not intended to replace existing safety procedures or forms in use by the railway or road authority that may be more stringent; and should not considered to be a design document.
