Section 37-1-7501-04017-300 - Low Speed Highways (Urban Areas Only)1. Low Speed highways are those highways and frontage roads on which the average daily traffic (ADT) is less than 750 and on which the design speed is less than 50 MPH. On these highways above ground utility installations should be located as far from the traveled way as is practicable and feasible and a minimum distance of 30 feet from the traveled way if practicable and feasible. Poles and other obstructions when nearer than 30 feet from the traveled way should be placed on top of cut banks, behind safety barriers or in other locations inaccessible to out of control vehicles to the extent practicable and feasible. The use of signs and light standards with break away type bases meeting the requirements of NCHRP Report 350 and underground facilities, where above ground facilities will be a serious hazard to the motorist, should be encouraged.2. Where practical limitations prevent better conditions for traffic safety, poles and other obstructions are to be placed not closer than two (2) feet from the shoulder, not closer than one and one-half (1 1/2) feet from the curb face of an auxiliary lane, and not closer than one and one-half (1 1/2) feet from the curb face of any outside through traffic lane. A clear recovery area of at least ten (10) feet from the edge of the through traffic lane, free of unyielding objects, is desirable (See Attachment A).37 Miss. Code. R. § 1-7501-04017-300
