Yep. When we finished our basement my contractor made the exact same observation. He called his guy that did the electrical work to make sure it was set up right and he confirmed that is code in Moultonborough. Pretty sure the reason is that the fire department can shut the power off without having to enter the house. Our house was built in 2005/2006 and it is set up that way. Not sure about the code in other towns.
