KRS 277.170: Flagman or gate at crossing of railroad with highway.

If the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet determines it is in the public interest for a gate to

be erected or maintained or a flagman stationed at any highway crossing within one mile

of the corporate limits of any city, the cabinet shall give the superintend ent or manager of

the railroad written notice that a gate or flagman is required. If a gate is required, the

notice shall prescribe the time within which the gate shall be erected, the character of gate

required, and shall designate the hours during which a man shall be kept in charge of the

gate. If a flagman is required, the notice shall designate the hours during which he shall

be kept at the crossing. The railroad company shall comply with the provisions of the

notice. The cabinet may authorize the disc ontinuance of the gate or flagman whenever, in

its judgment, the public interest no longer requires it.
