The clearance for a 440-volt line to earth at a road crossing typically depends on local regulations and safety standards. Generally, overhead power lines should maintain a minimum clearance of about 5.2 meters (17 feet) above roadways to ensure safety for vehicles and pedestrians. It's essential to consult local electrical codes and utility company guidelines for specific requirements in your area. Proper signage and warning systems should also be in place to alert motorists of the power lines.

When highway engineers build road in a mountainous area they inserted drainage pipes into the slopes alongside the road-why?

The drainage pipes are to prevent the road surface cracking by keeping the ground near the road dry. When the ground underneath the road gets wet, the road could sink, kind of like when you walk in a swamp. If only part of the road sinks and the rest stays in the same place, the road could crack where the sunken portion of the road meets the part that hasn't sunk.
