In the case of excavations, whether in or adjoining a street, alley or public ground and in the case of other open or exposed places within the City, suitable warning barriers shall be set up to protect against accidents. No opening across a public street or alley shall extend from the curb or edge thereof to a point further than one foot beyond the centerline of the street or alley without being refilled and the surface of the street or alley restored in accordance with the provisions of this chapter and the rules and specifications of the Director.
