Art. 29 LRou - Private Use · Private Use

1. Uses involving an encroachment on public property, such as the installation of underground or overhead pipelines, are subject to permits or concessions.

2. Permits are granted at will and may be revoked at any time without compensation. Installations benefiting from them must not impede road maintenance. They must be adapted to modifications that the authority deems useful to adopt; the expenses incurred by permit holders as a result are their responsibility. Furthermore, the permit is revocable at any time.

3. Concessions are granted only for significant investments; their duration is determined.

4. Damages resulting from defects in installations subject to permits or concessions are the exclusive responsibility of their beneficiaries.
