The current law has a provision that digging is prohibited on highways except by engineers if the depth is at or below 64 and the depth is above 84.

In order to make that provision effective, I propose changing it to prevent digging on highways if the depth is below 64. If the behavior of also preventing above 84 is desired, someone happier to add a new clause is welcome to do so.

There's a Server Concept law that already prevents digging below 69, so maybe we could remove the section with digging restrictions entirely? The only difference is that it doesn't cover the expansion road.

We did discuss and vote on it earlier here #house-of-lords message, and I think the conclusion was that it'll be best to let people mine there to get more Copper. Did something change?

That allows digging with highways worker. If the consensus is to remove the requirement for engineer below 64 entirely, then a no vote is appropriate.

I don't see how preventing digging or mining below any height should still be a part of this law. Seeing as we also allow bridges and the game itself even spawns caverns below. Even more so, the new /freecar allows unlimited vertical replacement and /car-mycars doubly so. So even in the fringe case of vehicles falling underground due to for example loading lag, people will be able to help themself.

This only prevents Dig or Mine in the case of not being a federal road worker. It doesn't if someone has the title. Imho this title should be given to Everyone and only be rekoved upon actual malpractice, to reduce the amount of book-keeping the MoI has to do. We did so last cycle and it was a resounding succcess, no harm happened and by this time in the game we had ~6 bridges, while currently we have just 1. I think the added bureaucracy of title management is at least partly to blame.
