Unauthorized use or destruction of highway land or damage to highway facilities shall be subject to a fine of no less than NTD 60,000 and not more than NTD 300,000; the highway authority shall order the offender to restore the original condition, reimburse the restoration fees, or provide compensation. In the aforementioned circumstances, if a written notice specifying a reasonable period for restoration is given and the party fails to comply by the deadline, the highway authority may impose a fine of no less than NTD 60,000 and no more than NTD 300,000, and may be subjected to fine per occurrence. If piping or wiring agencies or other engineering agencies install pipelines or other public facilities and fail to maintain traffic or conduct repairs as stipulated in the applied-for and permitted engineering project plan, the agencies shall be fined at least NTD 30,000 but not more than NTD 150,000, and shall be requested to improve in a given period. If the required improvements are not made by the specified deadline, agencies shall be subjected to fine per occurrence. Where piping or wiring agencies or other engineering authorities (agencies) use highway land to install pipelines, manholes, or handhole covers, they shall restore and properly backfill the area after installation or maintenance to be flush with the adjacent road surface. The anti-skid value standards for surface facilities such as manhole or handhole covers shall not be lower than the standards set by the MOTC. Furthermore, within the warranty period after backfilling as determined by the highway authority, the road surface smoothness shall be tested using a three-meter straightedge, and the single-point elevation difference shall not exceed ±0.6 cm. Violators shall make improvements within a specified time limit; if improvements are not made by the deadline, they shall be subject to a fine of no less than NTD 30,000 and no more than NTD 150,000, and shall be ordered to improve within a specified time limit; if improvements are still not made by the deadline, they shall be subjected to fine per occurrence. When necessary for maintenance, the highway authority may request piping or wiring agencies or other engineering authorities (agencies) to place certain manhole or handhole covers underground. However, if the piping or wiring agencies or other engineering authorities (agencies) have disaster relief or special needs, they may be exempted. The scope of special needs shall be determined by the MOTC in consultation with municipal, county (city) governments, and relevant piping or wiring agencies. If pipelines or other facilities installed by piping or wiring agencies or other engineering authorities (agencies) cause damage to people’s lives, bodies, or property due to defects in installation or management, or if the competent authority discovers through inspection that the road surface restoration is improper or poses a risk of injury, improvements shall be made within a specified time limit. If improvements are not made by the deadline, they shall be subject to a fine of no less than NTD 30,000 and no more than NTD 150,000, and shall be ordered to improve within a limit; if improvements are still not made by the deadline, they shall be subject to fine per occurrence. The scope of installation for pipelines or other facilities mentioned in the preceding paragraph refers to the area excavated for construction within the highway land. Violations of the provisions of Paragraph 1 and Paragraphs 3 to 6 that result in a major disaster shall be subject to a fine of no less than NTD 150,000 and no more than NTD 1,500,000. Unauthorized construction on proposed highway land after promulgation and boundary marking and forbidding or restricting construction shall be demolished by highway authorities in joint with relevant authorities.
擅自使用、破壞公路用地或損壞公路設施者，處新臺幣六萬元以上三十萬元以下罰鍰；公路主管機關並應責令其限期回復原狀、償還修復費用或賠償。 前項情形，經以書面限定相當期間令回復原狀，屆期仍未履行者，公路主管機關得處新臺幣六萬元以上三十萬元以下罰鍰，並得按次處罰。 管線機構或其他工程主辦機關（構）使用公路用地設置管線或其他公共設施時，未依申請許可檢附之工程計畫書維持交通、辦理修復者，處新臺幣三萬元以上十五萬元以下罰鍰，並得繼續限期改善；屆期仍未改善者，按次處罰之。 管線機構或其他工程主辦機關（構）使用公路用地設置管線或人、手孔蓋，於設置或維修後應予修復並確實回填與鄰接路面齊平，其人、手孔蓋等路面上之設施抗滑值基準不得低於交通部所定之基準，且於公路主管機關所定道路施工回填後之保固期限內，其修復路面平整度標準以三公尺直規檢測單點高低差不得超過正負零點六公分。違反者應於限期內改善，屆期未改善者，處新臺幣三萬元以上十五萬元以下罰鍰，並限期改善；屆期仍未改善者，按次處罰之。 公路主管機關有養護必要時，得要求管線機構或其他工程主辦機關（構）將部分人、手孔蓋下地。但管線機構或其他工程主辦機關（構）有救災或特殊需求者，得免於下地。特殊需求之範圍由交通部會商直轄市、縣（市）政府及相關管線機構定之。 管線機構或其他工程主辦機關（構）設置之管線或其他設施，如因設置或管理有缺失致人民生命、身體或財產受損害者，或經主管機關巡查發現，設置範圍內路面回復不確實或有致人體損傷之虞，應於限期內改善，屆期未改善者，處新臺幣三萬元以上十五萬元以下罰鍰，並限期改善；屆期仍未改善者，按次處罰。 前項管線或其他設施設置範圍係以管線或其他設施於公路用地內施工所挖掘之範圍內。 違反第一項、第三項至第六項規定致使發生重大災害，處新臺幣十五萬元以上一百五十萬元以下罰鍰。 公路用地經公告、立定界樁並禁止或限制建築後，仍擅自建築者，由公路主管機關會同有關機關拆除之。
