The Utilities Accommodation Policy was established in cooperation with the utility industry. The Utilities Accommodation Policy addresses:
- AASHTO policy guidelines on accommodating utilities within highway rights of way.
- State laws and regulations governing the accommodation of utility facilities.
- Compliance with federal-aid policies and procedures.
Slow down – lives are on the line.
Drive the posted speeds, they’re there for your safety.
Phone down, eyes up.
Pay attention – both to workers directing you and to surrounding traffic.
Stay calm
Expect delays, leave early or take an alternate route if possible; no appointment is worth risking someone’s life.
