| Intent | Intent 1: To limit the probability that gaps in the portion of the
covered way adjacent to the site will allow persons to inadvertently wander
onto the site, which could lead to persons being exposed to unsafe conditions,
which could lead to harm to persons. Intent 2: To limit the probability that gaps in the portion of the
covered way adjacent to the site will allow items arising from activities
on the site to be projected onto the covered way, which could lead to harm
to persons. Intent 3: To limit the probability that insufficient width or height
of covered ways, the absence of illumination, or contact with rough surfaces
of the structure will lead to persons bumping into objects or other persons,
which could lead to harm to persons. Intent 4: To limit the probability that the lack of a railing on the
street side of a covered way will allow persons to move away from the safety
of the covered way into a traffic area, which could lead to harm to persons.
Intent 5: To limit the probability that construction materials or
debris falling onto the roof of the covered way will slide or bounce onto
the street, which could lead to persons and vehicles passing beside the construction
site being exposed to hazards, which could lead to harm to persons.
