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).
AASHTO is the author of two documents that have guided utility accommodation highways for decades. The first document primarily applies to utility accommodation on highways that are part of the Federal Aid system. The second document primarily applies to utilities on state highways. The TRB National Cooperative Highway Research Program's NCHRP Web-Only Document 356: Development of a Guide for Accommodating Utilities within Highways and Freeways details changes in these rules and regulations over the years and ways AASHTO guidance can continue to evolve.
CI/ASCE Standard 38-02 presents a credible system for classifying the quality of utility location information that is placed in design plans. The Standard addresses issues such as: how utility information can be obtained, what technologies are available to obtain that information; how that information can be conveyed to the information users; who should be responsible for typical collection and depiction tasks; what factors determine which utility quality level attribute to assign to data; and what the relative costs and benefits of the various quality levels are. Used as a reference or as part of a specification, the Standard will assist engineers, project and utility owners, and constructors in developing strategies to reduce risk by improving the reliability of information on existing subsurface utilities in a defined manner.
