Mississippi Administrative Code › Title 37 - Transportation and Highways › Part 1 - Mississippi Department of Transportation › Subpart 7501 - Maintenance › Chapter 04015 - Parallel Utility Lines and Overhead Crossing Encroachment Permits › PARALLEL LOCATIONS AND CROSSINGS - FREEWAYS (TYPE 1) › Section 37-1-7501-04015-801 - Permissible Locations-All Lines

Current through June 25, 2024
Generally, all parallel utility lines on freeways, if
						approved, will be confined to areas outside the control of access line and
						preferably to the area between the frontage road and the right of way line. The
						control of access fence will usually be erected near the inside shoulder of the
						frontage road leaving little or no acceptable area between the fence and the
						frontage road for underground lines location. Servicing of such lines must be
						accomplished from the frontage roads. Where there are no frontage roads the
						control of access line is the right of way line unless noted differently on the
						highway and/or right of way plans. When underground lines follow cross roads or
						streets which are carried over fully controlled access highways they may not be
						attached to bridges, except for water lines indicated in Section 3(a) above, as
						they cannot be serviced without access from the through lanes or ramps and
						generally cannot approach the bridge(s) without being placed in the embankment
						or pavement structure, if any. Underground and overhead lines along such cross
						road or streets must be located so that servicing can be accomplished from the
						crossroad or street. Individual service line crossings of freeways are to be
						avoided where possible, such servicing to be accomplished from single
						distribution line crossings to the extent practicable and feasible. (Reference:
						Rule 37.1.7501.06001, Accommodation of Utilities on Freeway Rights of
						Way).

Current through June 25, 2024
1.
					 Low Speed highways are those highways and frontage roads on which the average
					 daily traffic (ADT) is less than 750 and on which the design speed is less than
					 50 MPH. On these highways above ground utility installations should be located
					 as far from the traveled way as is practicable and feasible and a minimum
					 distance of 30 feet from the traveled way if practicable and feasible. Poles
					 and other obstructions when nearer than 30 feet from the traveled way should be
					 placed on top of cut banks, behind safety barriers or in other locations
					 inaccessible to out of control vehicles to the extent practicable and feasible.
					 The use of signs and light standards with break away type bases meeting the
					 requirements of NCHRP Report 350 and underground facilities, where above ground
					 facilities will be a serious hazard to the motorist, should be
					 encouraged.
2. Where practical
					 limitations prevent better conditions for traffic safety, poles and other
					 obstructions are to be placed not closer than two (2) feet from the shoulder,
					 not closer than one and one-half (1 1/2) feet from the curb face of an auxiliary
					 lane, and not closer than one and one-half (1 1/2) feet from the curb face of any
					 outside through traffic lane. A clear recovery area of at least ten (10) feet
					 from the edge of the through traffic lane, free of unyielding objects, is
					 desirable (See Attachment A).
Mississippi Administrative Code › Title 37 - Transportation and Highways › Part 1 - Mississippi Department of Transportation › Subpart 7501 - Maintenance › Chapter 04017 - Location of Above Ground Utility or Other Structures Affecting Traffic Safety and Scenic Enhancement › ABOVE GROUND INSTALLATIONS › Section 37-1-7501-04017-301 - High Speed Highways (Urban Areas Only)

Current through June 25, 2024
1.
					 High speed highways are those highways and frontage roads on which the average
					 daily traffic (ADT) is 750 or more or on which the design speed is 50 MPH or
					 more. On these highways, no above ground installations are to be placed nearer
					 than 30 feet from the traveled way where such locations are accessible to out
					 of control vehicles. Above ground installations located within 30 feet from the
					 traveled way will be relocated 30 or more feet from the traveled way or to
					 points inaccessible to out of control vehicles at such time as the installation
					 requires a major rebuilding (replacement of above ground structure and
					 restringing). When locating new lines or relocating old lines, installations
					 which cannot be placed 30 or more feet from the traveled way or at points
					 inaccessible to out of control vehicles will be protected by properly designed
					 and approved safety barriers except that light standards and poles with break
					 away type bases meeting the requirements of NCHRP Report 350 may be located to
					 clear the usable shoulder, normally at least ten (10) feet from the edge of any
					 through traffic lane. In curb and gutter sections, these standards or poles
					 shall clear any curb face of through traffic lanes a minimum of one and
					 one-half (11/2 ) feet and this clearance shall be a minimum of one and one-half
					 (11/2) feet from the curb face of auxiliary lanes (See Attachment A).
2. On rights of way which do not have
					 adequate widths for the required clearances for above ground facilities, below
					 ground installations may be required.
