which would otherwise require provisions for safe passage, if certain measures
are taken [closure of the street or public way]. This is to limit the probability
that passing pedestrians will be negatively affected by the site operations
[e.g. run into materials or equipment, or be hit by moving equipment], which
could lead to harm to persons. |
