A uniform policy is needed to establish the conditions under which public and private utilities may be accommodated on the freeway right-of-way, which does not adversely affect highway or traffic safety, or otherwise impair the highway or its' aesthetic quality, and does not conflict with the provisions of federal, state or local laws or regulations. Although the primary purpose of this policy is to improve and maintain highway safety and operation, said policy recognizes the public interest in avoiding unnecessary and costly operation of public utilities. It is not the intent of this policy to impose restrictions on the future installation of utility crossings that would obstruct the development of expanded areas adjacent to the freeways. This policy applies to all highways with full control of access, regardless of system. Also, it has value as a guide for all highways with partial control of access.
