or across any railway or conduit which the route of the lines
intersects or runs along.



22476.  A district may not construct and operate electric light and
power lines along, over, under, or upon any road within any city
unless permission to do so is granted by the governing body of the
city, which in so doing may impose reasonable conditions upon the
proposed use.



22477.  Permission pursuant to Section 22476 is not necessary where
the road to be used is a convenient part of the route of the lines

organized city.



22478.  A district constructing lines pursuant to this article shall
restore the road, railway, or conduit intersected to its former
