(a) Requests for permits or agreements by private persons or concerns to cross, occupy, or use highways or Federal-Aid Road right-of-way shall be treated as special cases. The review, approval, and issuance of any such permits or agreements for the accommodation of such privately-owned facilities will be on the merits of the individual requests as to their necessity and legal basis consistent with New Jersey law.

(b) Where the requested use and occupancy involves more than a road crossing of up to 1/8 mile, or where equivalent utility service is available without the private line installation, then the request will be reviewed for legal propriety of the requested use. All such private lines shall also meet all other applicable provisions of this chapter.

(c) Applications for longitudinal use and occupancy of Federal-Aid roads by private utilities will be submitted by the Department to the Federal Highway Administration Division Administrator for prior approval.
