(a) Single-pole construction and joint use of the pole is desirable and should be used whenever feasible.

(b) The minimum vertical clearance for overhead power and communication lines above the road and the minimum lateral and vertical clearance from bridges shall be in compliance with the National Electrical Safety Code and the National Electrical Code. In no case shall vertical clearance over a roadway be less than 18 feet.

(c) Where irregularly shaped portions of the right-of-way extend beyond the normal right-of-way limits, a uniform alignment of facilities may be allowed. In areas where right-of-way is less than standard the County may, at its discretion, make efforts to obtain additional road right-of-way, which will provide a uniform offset for the utility.
