Washington – The Federal Railroad Administration recently announced several changes to its Roadway Worker Protection regulation.
FRA listed the revisions as part of a final rule published in the June 10 Federal Register. The final rule follows a 2012 notice of proposed rulemaking about the changes, which refresh aspects of the original 1996 RWP regulation.

- The adoption of procedures for how roadway workers cross railroad tracks.
- A new exception for railroads conducting snow removal and weed spraying operations.
- A clarification of the existing “foul time” provision.
