The commissioner, so far as practicable, shall secure uniformity in the devices used to
protect grade crossings. No devices may be installed until they have been approved by the
commissioner. All devices which, in the opinion of the commissioner, conflict with devices
approved by the commissioner, either in design or method of operation, so as to create a hazard
to travel at the crossing, must be immediately modified by the railroad company controlling the
crossing to conform to those devices approved by the commissioner.
