This bill proposes to amend existing statutes related to railroad grade crossings by incorporating regulations for "other on-track equipment" alongside traditional railroad trains. Specifically, it updates the language in sections 28-851, 28-853, and 28-854 of the Arizona Revised Statutes to ensure that the same safety rules and requirements that apply to trains also apply to other types of on-track equipment. The amendments include inserting references to "other on-track equipment" in various contexts, such as when a driver must stop for signals or when assessing hazards at crossings.

Additionally, the bill makes technical changes to improve clarity and consistency in the statutes. For example, it modifies the language regarding the stopping requirements for vehicles carrying hazardous materials and ensures that the same precautions are taken for other on-track equipment as are currently mandated for trains. Overall, the bill aims to enhance safety at railroad crossings by broadening the scope of equipment covered under existing regulations.
