6/8/06-Gov. Dave Heineman has signed a that requires certain public railroad crossings to be closed if they do not have gates, signals, alarm bells or warning personnel and are located within one quarter mile of a crossing that does have those signals.
Under the new law, previously LB79, any closing could be contested.
Crossings that are the only access to a property are exempt from the rule.
