Abstract: The current Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) has no specific provision for light rail transit within street right of way, although conventional railroad crossings are treated. This paper compares the traffic engineering techniques used in San Diego, Portland, Sacramento, and San Jose to provide for light rail movements at intersections. These techniques include conventional railroad style crossing gates, and pavement marking. They are compared in terms of their understandability and their relation to current MUTCD provisions.
