Additional safeguards at crossings may be required
N.D. Cent. Code § 24-09-08
in effect24-09-08. Additional safeguards at crossings may be required
The commission, upon written application made to it by the director, the board of county
commissioners of any county, the board of supervisors of any township, any municipality, the
railroad company, or upon its own motion, shall investigate and determine whether any railroad
grade crossing over any state, county, township, or municipal highway in the state is dangerous
to life and property and needs protection further than that set out in this chapter, and may order
the same protected in any manner it may find reasonable and proper, including a requirement
that the railroad company separate the grades. In such cases, the commission shall give the
railroad company interested such notice of the investigation as it deems reasonable and an
opportunity to be heard before any order is made. The railroad company interested, within thirty
days after the service of a copy of such order upon it, may appeal to the district court of the
county within which such crossing is situated.
