Summary
The cities of North Salt Lake and Salt Lake City want to keep their quiet zones safe without adding new flashing lights and gates right now. They’ve asked for more time to follow the rules about warning devices at railroad crossings. If you have thoughts, speak up by January 12, 2026—this affects local drivers and could save the cities money and hassle for a bit longer.

Waiver Extension for Quiet Zone Crossings
This notice says North Salt Lake and Salt Lake City, Utah, asked the Federal Railroad Administration for one more year of relief from 49 CFR 222.35(b)(1) so two crossings in the Woods Cross Quiet Zone (crossing numbers 805664P and 805836V) do not have to be equipped with flashing lights and gates by the prior deadline. The Cities said they need extra time to finish design and construction because involved railroads must finalize agreements and order equipment with long lead times. FRA is accepting public comments on the petition (Docket No. FRA-2024-0124) through January 12, 2026.
