Location of lines.

69-09-02-34. Location of lines. In situations where communication lines and electric supply lines on the same right of way are not to occupy joint poles or where either kind of line is alone on a right of way, all communication lines should be placed on one side of the right of way and all electric supply lines should be placed on the other side. In the construction or reconstruction of electric supply and communication lines, unnecessary crossings of the right of way from side to side should be avoided. Overbuilding of one line by another line should be avoided where practicable. Where necessary for different types of lines to occupy the same side of a right of way, joint use is generally preferable to overbuilding.
