  with highway-rail at-grade crossing warning systems. 1.  Notwithstanding
  the  provisions  of  any  other law to the contrary, the commissioner is

  program   to   coordinate  the  inspection  of  traffic-control  signals
  interconnected with highway-rail at-grade crossing warning systems.
2. Pursuant to the program established under subdivision one  of  this
  section,  the  department  of transportation shall establish a procedure
  applicable to every railroad corporation and  each  municipality  having
  jurisdiction  of  a  highway on which there is an at-grade rail crossing
  warning system interconnected with  a  traffic-control  signal  for  the
  coordinated  operation  and  biennial  inspection of any traffic-control
  signal interconnected with  a  highway-rail  at-grade  crossing  warning
  system.  Nothing in this section shall be deemed to alter or impair such
  railroad corporation's existing responsibility for maintenance  of,  and
  access to, the highway-rail at-grade crossing warning system.
3. For the purposes of this section, the term "traffic-control signal"
  shall  have  the  same  meaning  as  such term is defined by section one
