General Provisions

23    Aviodance Of Conflicts And Crossings

In locating and constructing lines, efforts shall be made to avoid creating any conflicts with other lines. Where it is not reasonably practicable to maintain a sufficient separation of the lines, conflicts may in many cases be avoided by means of joint pole construction.  (See Rule 26, Par. 2, and also Section X.)

In the construction of new lines care shall be taken to avoid all unnecessary crossings of other lines and of streets, alleys and roads.
