(3) All other crossings should be made with conduit of sufficient capacity to handle anticipated future requirements of the utility.

(4) Conduit shall be of sufficient strength to carry prescribed legal weights of construction equipment and highway traffic.

(5) The department shall determine the minimum length of conduit to be used, based on protection to the highway, as well as future highway expansion.
