I am trying to film this area with my drone. There are normal size power lines across the street and I fear the path of the remote to the drone may pass through these power lines.

Are power lines only a problem if the Remote or drone is nearby? What about the path of the signal?

If they are LV (domestic 415v), the only real risk is flying into them and binning it. I would keep a clear space of at least 10 mtrs and you should be fine. HV 6.6kv and above, try 20-30 mtrs and you won't be bothered. A lot written on here regarding inteference from powerlines and from my professional and personal experience, be alert but not be afraid.

Agreed with tevek, keep flying within 15-30 meters away and you will be all right.
