Is foot or vehicle traffic allowed in transmission line rights-of-way?
On private property, hunters-just like all other citizens-cannot access a right-of-way without obtaining prior permission from the landowner. In public forests, foot and vehicle traffic on rights-of-way is allowed just as it would be on all public land in Qubec, unless the MRNF, which is the landowner, has put restrictions on its use. In addition, creating ATV or snowmobile trails (constructing, marking and maintaining trails, grading or leveling of the ground, etc.) in power line rights-of-way is prohibited without Hydro-Qubec’s prior written consent.
