Which statement correctly describes the relationship at point SNAKE?

Which statement correctly describes the relationship at point SNAKE?

• A. The highway has ROW that is above the power lines
• B. The power lines have ROW over HWY 197/A
• C. The power lines and HWY 197/A share equal ROW
• D. There is no ROW at SNAKE

Answer: (B)

Right-of-way shows which obstacle you must yield to or treat as the controlling hazard when two structures share the airspace near a waypoint. At SNAKE, the diagram designates the power lines as having ROW over the highway. That means the power lines are the priority obstacle, and your clearance planning must respect them first—the highway is the lower-priority element in this scenario. The other possibilities would contradict what the chart conveys about which structure dominates at this point. So, the power lines having ROW over HWY 197/A is the correct interpretation for SNAKE.
