Which Table 300.5 row addresses cover requirements for underground conduit located under streets, highways, roads, alleys, driveways, and parking lots?

Which Table 300.5 row addresses cover requirements for underground conduit located under streets, highways, roads, alleys, driveways, and parking lots?

• A. All locations not specified below
• B. Under a building
• C. Under streets, highways, roads, alleys, driveways, and parking lots
• D. In or under airport runways, including adjacent areas where trespassing prohibited

Answer: (C)

Table 300.5 defines the minimum cover depths for buried conduit and raceways, with each row keyed to a specific location. For underground conduit under streets, highways, roads, alleys, driveways, and parking lots, the row labeled for those exact locations provides the required burial depth and conditions tailored to areas with pavement and potential vehicular disturbance. This is the correct match because it directly addresses the scenario of underground installations in those surface environments where protection and depth vary from other places. Other rows cover different settings—under a building, or under airport runways, for instance—so they don’t apply to conduits beneath streets and similar surfaces. Knowing this helps you choose the row that reflects the actual installation context rather than a generic or unrelated location.
