Right-of-way, right-o'way, utility easement
Liminal.
That's a powerline cut.

Is this a contest for best comment? 🏆
Electric Avenue. Let's rock down to it.
Strips cut through forested areas like this are generally called fire breaks. I don't know if there's a more specific term for those beneath power lines.
Down by the power lines
Power lines.
An electrical easement.
Utility cut
the Cut. (Low and ominous)
Same, there was one by my home growing up and we all called it that.
In Swedish it would be called "kraftledningsgata", directly translated to English that means "powerline street", but I already saw a better name for it in the comments "utility corridoor"
🇸🇯 Strømgate - electrics street.
Or "Electric Avenue" as I've taken to calling them.
And then we’ll take it higher.
If you put a tent there, I'd call it home.
Make sure it has fiberglass poles or things could get a little tingly.
I like it when my thing gets tingly.
"right of way"
The Iron Giant's home
I seriously have a fantasy about hiking/backpacking the length of one of these. I wonder if there's a legal way to do that.
I haven't done the full length of one but I've gone pretty far down one before
Basically you just need to figure out who owns the land and depending on that would depend on if you can legally or not
When I did it though I didn't check first because I was basically banking on the fact it was near a national forest so if someone stopped me I'd claim (accurately) that I didn't know it wasn't a part of the national forest. Of course I'm not sure if it is a part of it or not, but if I did get stopped at least I'd know for sure. I didn't get stopped but I did have a nice day out there.
Peaceful wooded area with power transmission.
Easement corridor for power lines.
The area where there are always open camping sites in that one national park because no one wants to sleep under the high voltage lines and get cancer.
Which park?
The Chernobyl Exclusion Zone
GET OUT OF HERE STALKER!
"What are you waiting for? I said come in, STALKER!"
"Uh... You guys are giving me mixed messages. You want me to come in or get out?"
I like zap way
Power cut
Green Belt
Isn't that sort of the opposite of a green belt?
I don't know. That's just what everybody in my neighborhood calls it.
It’s that scene from the Shining with the twins, being played by a couple of those giant robots I keep seeing on the hills while driving on I-5
High line
The Dead Zone
i never had to call it anything so im calling it zap way
Not sure if you are looking for a series answer, but where I live they are called: Right-of-Ways
oh those are the covid vaccine mind control passages. Its only safe for lizard people and nords to pass through.
Crunskguloria.
Currents Through the Wild
The Powerlines--a place for high schoolers to throw keggers.
I mean, I was thinking tree line, but I just now realized that that is the other part. I don’t know what the power line corridor is called…
Просека
ЛЭП - линия электро передачи, если конкретнее
Но в общем - просека
Cross country ski trail after a foot or two of snow.
This photo makes me think of childhood
I need to know where this is, I'm sure I'm going to come across a door with this rune
Call them the electronic giants to our toddler

The Cancer Zone, avoid electrical easements.
Please get your medical advice from doctors and not social media.
I see you're buying into the corporate propaganda. Guess who paid for "studies" to clear power companies from liability.
Here are a few of the conclusions from studies that have discovered a strong link between proximity to power lines and health problems:
Cancer: Exposure to power lines has been connected to cancer. Brain cancer is the most common type, but associations with breast cancer and leukemia have also been claimed;
Tumors: Some studies have shown associations between brain and other cancerous tumors and exposure to power lines.
Miscarriages;
Increased susceptibility to illnesses such as cancer;
Depression;
Electric shock;
Electrocution.
Utility corridor. Sometimes a "Right of Way".
Depending on where you live, "hydro lines" or "transmission lines" or similar.
I used the term Hydro line once on Reddit and had a lot of people asking what the hell I was talking about.
Are you Canadian by any chance? It's common in Canada to call electrical utilities "hydro" whether there's water generation or not. In the states they don't do this as much. At least not in my experience.
To me "hydro line" sounds like a weird way to say "water pipe".
Mostly because hydro means water. Of course that would be confusing.
I would call it a hydro corridor.
