This section provides information on whether existing whistle ban jurisdictions may qualify as Pre-Rule Quiet Zones under the Interim Final Rule without taking additional steps to reduce risk. This listing has been developed using the information that is currently available to FRA as of January 1, 2004, and may not reflect the actual conditions at highway-rail crossings in jurisdictions with pre-existing whistle bans. The information is not definitive; it has been developed to provide a general overview for interested whistle ban communities.
