When the highway authority is to build or improve roads, it should make an announcement before the construction. Aside from national highway projects, it should consult with local municipal and county governments and inform the highway public private institutions simultaneously so as to coordinate construction at the location.After completion of the preceding highway project, digging may be restricted within a certain period. However, this shall not apply to necessary emergency repairs or localized region repairs.When hosting pipelines or other engineering projects for the laying of a pipeline or other projects where road excavation is necessary, institutions should apply for a permit from the highway authorities according to the preceding second paragraph, and pay the license fee before construction. However, for emergency repairs, processing may begin after informing the highway authorities by phone or fax, and correct the licensing procedures after the beginning of the construction.When previous pipeline institutions must undertake mining roads, besides the national highway construction and emergency repair, mining facilities and traffic maintenance plans should be developed to be examined and approved by municipal or county (city) governments.Regarding excavation and restoration of the road, highway authorities may utilize one of the following measures:(1) Charge road patching fee, with the progress of the project excavation and repairing of roads.(2) Coordinate or require the pipeline or other works sponsored agencies (institutions) to coordinate construction, and monitor its construction and complete repairing of roads before the deadline.Regarding the preceding business and road excavation plan, highway authorities may commission private groups to undertake progress entirely or in part.Pipeline institutions should undertake inspections regularly to maintain safety after the completion of the project.When highway authorities need to move the original pipeline or other public facilities with the land scope of the highway based on the construction or improvement of highway engineering, they should coordinate with the users to select the migration position. Users should coordinate migration according to the results and all relocation costs. But when the same engineering is limited to site, and must apply for multiple migrations, in addition to the last costs to be borne by the user, the rest times of the relocation costs and other user's property relocation costs should be provided by the highway authorities.
中文原文 公路法第30-1條
公路主管機關修建或改善公路時，應於施工前公告，除國道工程外，應先協商當地直轄市、縣（市）政府，並通知必須使用公路用地之公私機構同時配合施工。
前項公路工程完竣後，於一定期間內得限制挖掘。
但緊急搶修或定點局部修護需要，不在此限。
管線機構或其他工程主辦機關（構）為埋設管線或其他工程，必須挖掘公路時，應依前條第二項規定申請公路主管機關許可，並繳交許可費，始得施工。
但緊急搶修，得以電話或傳真先行告知該管公路主管機關後，迅即辦理，並於事後補正許可程序。
前項管線機構必須挖掘公路時，除國道施工及緊急搶修外，應擬訂挖掘施工交通維持計畫，送所在地直轄市、縣（市）政府審查同意。
公路之挖掘及修復，公路主管機關得採取左列方式之一辦理：
一、收取公路挖補費，並配合工程進度開挖及修復公路。
二、協調或要求管線機構或其他工程主辦機關（構）統一施工，並監督其施工及限期完全修復公路。
前項業務及相關公路開挖計畫，公路主管機關得全部或一部委託民間團體辦理。
管線機構於工程完工後應定期巡檢，維護安全。
公路主管機關基於修建或改善公路工程需要，需將公路用地範圍內原有管線或其他公共設施遷移時，應協調使用人擇定遷移位置。
使用人應依協調結果配合遷移，並負擔全部遷移費用。
但同一工程限於工地環境，需辦理多次遷移時，除最後一次費用由使用人負擔外，其餘各次遷移費及用戶所有部分之遷移費，均由公路主管機關負擔。
