§ 10.60.010. Blockage of crossing—Time limit—Exception.¶
No person shall cause or permit any railway train or railway car or similar vehicle on rails to stop or stand or to be operated in such a manner as to prevent the use of any street for the purposes of travel for a period of time longer than ten minutes; except, that this provision shall not apply to railway trains, cars or similar vehicles on rails while blocking or obstructing a crossing because of an accident which requires the operator of the train, car or similar vehicle on rails to stop at or near the scene of the accident; or when the stopping or standing is caused by circumstances wholly beyond the control of the railroad company; but this provision does apply to other obstructions, including without limitation those caused by stopped trains and trains engaged in switching, loading or unloading operations.
