Summary

The law obligates railroad companies to remove trees, brush and other plants within 600 feet—or a safely determined distance—of any public road crossing. If they fail, the Transportation Cabinet or the local road authority can issue a 10‑day notice, remove the vegetation themselves, and bill the railroad for the expense, with the option to sue for non‑payment. The measure is intended to keep crossings clear and safe for motorists.
