RE: Pipe allowable separation
You need to include more information before anyone here can give you helpful answers.
a. What country is this project?
b. What is the commodity in the pipe?
c. Do you mean:
- Horizontal, as in off the side of the road edge?
or
- vertically, as in how deep below the road surface?

RE: Pipe allowable separation
1.) Frequent work on the roads edges, maybe by people that can't read warning signs.
2.) Pipeline warning signs get knocked down
3.) In Colombia the risk of landslides near roads is higher than in other places because they have already filled the area with substandard compacted fill.
4.) In Colombia the sides of roads often handle drainage and rainwater runoff increasing risk of washouts on your pipe.
5.) In Colombia there is insufficient control of overweighted trucks
6.) Drainage ditches are often added to the sides of roads that don't have drainage now, or the drainage becomes insufficient in the near future.
7.) Drainage on the sides of roads is often poor, because the road has already caused disruptions to the natural drainage patterns.
Inside cities often the only place you can go is in the road. If that's the case, go for the center of the road.
