    What does it mean when it says EXEMPT right under the RR Crossing Sign?


    I've seen them all over the place like that.


    — I think it's for HM and Buses that normally have to stop before they cross the Tracks.

    I think you are right. Most of the exempt signs I have seen have been on dilapidated tracks that aren't used more.

    Believe you are correct also; abandoned track that has not been pulled up mostly.

    Yes, that is what exempt means. It is in the regs.

    It means a driver driving a company truck hauling HM can cross the tracks at highway speed, for a O/O hauling HM it means slow down the RR crossing may be rough.

    Some hazmat still needs to stop regardless. I think radioactive its one and explosive is another. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

    You are incorrect. I hauled explosives, radioactive and inhalation hazard for twelve years. Exempt is exempt.
