Sec. 4. (a) A railroad shall provide and maintain within the railroad's right-of-way an unobstructed view in each quadrant of a public rail-highway crossing that is under the control of the railroad as follows:
(1) If the crossing is equipped with a passive warning device, as follows:
(A) For tracks with a maximum authorized speed limit of not more than thirty (30) miles per hour, an unobstructed view of three hundred fifty (350) feet.
(B) For tracks with a maximum authorized speed limit of more than thirty (30) miles per hour and not more than sixty (60) miles per hour, an unobstructed view of six hundred fifty (650) feet.
(C) For tracks with a maximum authorized speed limit of more than sixty (60) miles per hour, an unobstructed view of nine hundred (900) feet.
If the crossing includes multiple tracks with different maximum authorized speed limits, the track with the highest authorized maximum speed limit shall be used to determine the unobstructed view under this subdivision.
(2) If the crossing is equipped with a train-activated warning device, two hundred fifty (250) feet.
(b) If a railroad is unable to provide or maintain an unobstructed view under subsection (a) due to a variance in terrain, elevation, track curvature, rolling stock, or permanent improvements at or near the public rail-highway grade crossing, the railroad shall provide and maintain an unobstructed view in each quadrant of the public rail-highway grade crossing to the furthest achievable unobstructed view.
