7.4  Seal requirements

It is desirable that level crossings with more than 50 road vehicles per day have a minimum of 6 m width of seal installed for 5 m on each level crossing approach to allow the marking of limit lines. See figure A1 in Appendix A.

Level crossings with more than 100 road vehicles per day should desirably have a minimum of 6 m width of seal for the length of carriageway necessary to accommodate the marking of a full length of the solid no-passing line on each approach in accordance with figures A2–A10 in Appendix A.

Asphalt surfacing or appropriate alternatives should be provided, except when the level crossing is settling after construction where a temporary chip seal coat may be used. Any seal design and application must meet the requirements of the road controlling authority.
