This policy manual is established to regulate the location, manner, installation and adjustment of utility facilities on the State Highway System, and also the issuance of permits for such work, in the interest of safety and of protection, utilization, and future development of the highways.
The Guide for Accommodating Utilities within Highways and Freeways, 1st Edition, merges and updates the information in two former publications on utility accommodation: A Policy on the Accommodation of Utilities Within Freeway Right-of-Way, 5th Edition (published in 2005); and A Guide for Accommodating Utilities within Highway Right-of-Way, 4th Edition (published in 2005). The guide includes updates to materials that have changed or developed, as well as information on emerging technologies for installing and accommodating utilities in the right-of-way. With all redundancies and inconsistencies between the two previous editions removed and updated, this new guide contains five chapters: Introduction; General Accommodation Factors; Utility Accommodation on Fully Controlled-Access Highways; Utility Accommodation on Highway Right-of-Way (Noncontrolled Access); and Utility Accommodation on Multi-Access Right-of-Way (Partially Controlled Access).
This synthesis will be of interest to highway administrators, design engineers, maintenance engineers and maintenance staff, traffic engineers, and safety officials. It will also provide useful information to the utilities and telecommunications industries. Information is presented on the state transportation agencies' policies, practices, and experience associated with occupancy of the rights-of-way on controlled (or limited) access highways. This report of the Transportation Research Board presents a brief history of accommodation of utilities in the right-of-way, including the policies developed over time by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and describes why there are issues associated with joint use of the highway right-of-way. A 1993/1994 survey of the state transportation agencies taken for this synthesis yielded 100% return, indicating the high interest in the subject. Issues included in the survey were policies and experiences regarding user and worker safety; controls placed on utilities; exceptions to right-of-way policies; and operational, legal, and equity issues.
