What is a requirement for encroachment permits under Caltrans?

  1. For activities related to highway rights of way

  2. For any landscaping work

  3. For commercial filming only

  4. For public art installations

The correct answer is: For activities related to highway rights of way

A requirement for encroachment permits under Caltrans is specifically for activities related to highway rights of way. This stipulation is in place because any modifications or uses of the land adjacent to highways can impact roadway safety, traffic flow, and infrastructure integrity. To ensure that these activities do not create hazards or barriers for the public, a permit system exists to regulate what can and cannot be done in these areas. The other choices represent activities that may or may not require specific permissions but do not encompass the general purpose of encroachment permits, which primarily focus on aspects that could affect highways and public safety directly.
