Kentucky Holds Railroads Accountable for Crossing Safety | Louisville News

Kentucky’s new law, House Bill 311, makes railroad companies legally responsible for clearing vegetation blocking driver views at public crossings—starting Thursday. If they ignore warnings, state or local officials can step in, do the work, and bill the railroads. Designed to prevent accidents by ensuring clear sightlines, the law includes a compliance deadline of January 1, 2029, with limited exemptions for justified cases. It’s a direct accountability move to save lives and keep crossings safer for everyone. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
