Section 219.17 Uniform Warning Signs

219.17 UNIFORM WARNING SIGNS.

The commissioner by rule shall require that uniform warning signs be placed at grade crossings. There must be at least three distinct types of uniform warning signs: a home crossing sign, for use in the immediate vicinity of the crossing; an approach crossing sign, to indicate the approach to a grade crossing; and, when deemed necessary, a stop sign with the word "stop" plainly appearing on it, to indicate that persons on the highway approaching the crossing, whether in vehicles or otherwise, must come to a stop before proceeding over the grade crossing.
