What is the immediate ROW precedence at SNAKE?

• A. The power lines ROW has precedence over HWY 197/A
• B. HWY 197/A ROW has precedence over power lines
• C. They have equal precedence
• D. ROW information is not available

Answer: (A)

The immediate right-of-way rule at SNAKE puts the power line ROW ahead of HWY 197/A. In this situation, fixed infrastructure like power lines is treated as the higher-risk obstacle, so you prioritize avoiding or clearing the power-line ROW first. Roads are a lower-priority hazard by comparison, so you don’t yield to them before ensuring you have safe clearance from the lines. Therefore, the correct precedence is the power lines having priority over the highway. The other options don’t fit because the power lines are the more restrictive obstacle, not the highway, and the information is provided for this scenario.
