IOWA STATE TRANSPORT INFORMATIONS

The citizens of Iowa have come to expect the
road system to act as not only a transportation corridor for passengers
and freight but also services, including utilities. By placing
utilities in the highway right-of-way the utility providers are
able to avoid the purchase of costly utility easements. This savings
translates into lower rates to their customers who are also the
taxpayers who pay for the highway right-of-way to begin with.
It is simply the most prudent use of the taxpayer's investment.

 To provide for the reasonable accommodation of
utility facilities on highway rights of way as required by Iowa
Code 306A.3. The Department of Transportation has taken the position
that safety is the most important issue when utility accommodation
is considered. The utility facility must provide for the safety
of not only the traveling public but for the utility workers and
highway maintenance crews as well. Additionally we work to preserve
the state's investment in the highway system by insuring the utility
facility doesn't damage the roadway structure directly or adversely
affect the future development of the highway as a transportation
corridor.
