Crossing at Grade is defined as?

Crossing at Grade is defined as?

• A. A single track crossing a road at grade.
• B. Two tracks crossing at a different level.
• C. A crossing with automatic gates only.
• D. Two or more routes that intersect at the same level.

Answer: (D)

Crossing at grade means two or more routes intersect at the same surface level, with no grade separation like a bridge or tunnel. This describes a situation where railroad tracks and a road (or multiple rail routes) meet at the same level. Gates or other devices may be present, but they don’t define the crossing—the defining feature is the intersection at the same level. So the best description is two or more routes intersecting at the same level. The other options either describe a single crossing scenario, a crossing at a different level, or focus on devices rather than the level of intersection.
