An IC-plane graph is a topological graph where every edge is crossed at most once and no two crossed edges share a vertex. We show that every IC-plane graph has a visibility drawing where every vertex is of the form {,,,}, and every edge is either a horizontal or vertical segment. As a byproduct of our drawing technique, we prove that every IC-plane graph has a RAC drawing in quadratic area with at most two bends per edge.
