Abstract:
Highway and street projects in urban areas often involve conflicts with existing utility poles. In determining what effect utility poles may have on a project and how they should be handled, full consideration should be given to measures to ensure the safety of the traveling public and features to protect the operation, integrity, and visual quality of the highway or street. These measures and features should reflect sound engineering principles and economic data, and should be based upon minimum offset and clear zone distances, crash experience, and available countermeasures.
