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.
