Every person who shall dig, or cause to be dug, in or adjoining any street, alley, avenue, or public ground any excavation whatsoever, and every person who shall occupy or cause to be occupied any portion of any street with building material, or any obstruction, shall provide sufficient warning lights and barricades to adequately protect pedestrian and vehicular traffic. Such person shall cause not less than two (2) warning lights to be securely and conspicuously posted in or near such excavation, building material or obstruction (one or more at each end of the space so excavated or occupied) and if the space occupied by such obstruction shall exceed ten feet (10') in extent, additional lights shall be posted as aforesaid for every additional ten feet (10') of excavation or obstruction.

In the case of excavations, whether in an adjoining street, avenue, alley, or public ground and in case of other open or exposed places within the City, suitable warning barriers shall be erected to protect against accidents.
