The Director of Public Properties may, upon written petition, exonerate a railroad company from the necessity of complying with the provisions of Sections 631.16 to 631.18, if the volume of travel over the crossing or the presence of the bridge or crossing does not constitute a substantial hazard to the general public, or when lighting or additional lighting will not promote the safety of the general public. Nothing herein shall authorize the Director to relieve the railroad company from the duty to light where a grade crossing has been eliminated and the lighting thereof provided for by contract.
