The next image shows a closer view of the level crossing, allowing more detailed inspection of traffic control equipment. On screen measurements can be made of such things as:

• distance from stop line to rail tracks
• road lane widths
• area of asphalt at crossing
• setback of traffic control devices from traffic lanes

 

The next image shows a detailed view of the pavement surface across the level crossing. This would be useful for condition assessment of the level crossing pavement surface.

 

In this instance we might be looking for:

• asphalt deformation
• gap between asphalt and tracks
• cracking or general degradation of asphalt material
• evidence of poor drainage
• evidence of frequent maintenance work
