A fence of solid, substantial construction not less than three feet high shall be provided on the traffic or street side of the walkway; each side of the walk shall be provided with smooth handrails.

(c)   Where the distance from building to street or alley property line is less than half the height of the building, a fence of substantial solid construction at least eight feet high shall be provided on the building side of the walkway.

(d)   Roof coverings over walkways, as required by Section 1339.02 shall be constructed of not less than one layer of two-inch nominal dimension wood plank spanning not over three feet between supports, or equivalent, decking. The framework supporting the walkway covering shall be well braced and designed to support at least 150 pounds per square foot, but the top deck shall be designed to carry not less than 250 pounds per square foot. The roof covering shall be of width sufficient to cover the entire walkway or sidewalk, and shall be made watertight. Suitable provision shall be made for adequate lighting of the walk under the covering at all times. A minimum clearance of eight feet six inches shall be maintained above walkways.
