Why are most man holes smack in the middle of a street?

Question:
If they were away from the driving surface, maintenance would not force street or lane shutdown.

Answers:

Is there anywhere in the U.S. and/or Canada in where the speed limit is 100mph or the equivalent in km?

Roadways are high centered so whatever washes off to curbing on either side can by gravity fed into grated collection basins and directed back toward a trench-laid stormwater drainage for
treatment facility or other disposals. Previous construction
using roadside man entry to stormwater drainage found covers
too often obstructed by parked or otherwise unattended vehicles.
Property owners also take exception to their private land being
trenched when public street is available for same activity.

How to get to bentley priory from Luton?

the first response was right , sometimes those pipes are 20 to 30 feet deep , we would have to move houses for repair if deeper mains were infringing on private property. we also do a lot of sewer cleaning at night so that is more convenient for the taxpayer, we deal with some rather pungent material and having an easily sanitized workspace is nice ( its hard to clean shrubs ).as for placing them in the common tire path and not the bit between the track , yes a professional should aim to not have them become speed bumps , but s**t happens
