(A) The purpose of this subchapter is to accommodate installation and placement of objects within town rights-of-way while providing for the public health, safety and general welfare and protecting the natural environment. The intent is to provide for public safety, improve traffic flow on streets and roads, and assure that such rights-of-way are free of physical obstructions. This is accomplished by establishing construction standards, based on sound engineering principles, to protect the physical integrity of streets, roads and other rights-of-way as defined in § 150.043, and their associated drainage systems.
(B) All work authorized and performed in public rights-of-way shall be in accordance with the provisions of this subchapter but shall not be construed to prevent the enforcement of other laws which, prescribe more restrictive limitations, nor shall the provisions of this subchapter be presumed to waive any limitations imposed by other statutes or ordinances.
