24、n passage to or from, a play environment by children.This would include, but not be limited to, state and localgovernments, model code organizations, building code groups,and consumers. It is understood that the format will varydepending upon the specific use and local conditions.6. Methods of Prote

25、ction6.1 Discrete and Continuous Barriers These methods ofprotection shall be determined by the vulnerable play area orplay zone requirement for protection for vehicle intrusion andadjacent traffic circumstances.6.1.1 Continuous BarrierIf a vulnerable play area has noexterior exit gate on the traffi

26、c side of the play zone, then theplay area shall be protected with a continuous barrier on thetraffic side as specified in the following sections. If pedestrianaccess through this continuous barrier is necessary, it shallmeet applicable sections. Continuous barrier methods include,but are not limite

27、d to, guardrails, concrete or brick reinforcedwalls, and concrete jersey barriers.6.1.2 Discrete BarrierIf a vulnerable play area has an exitgate on the traffic side of the play zone, then pedestrian accessthrough a barrier is necessary and a discrete barrier should beprovided on the traffic side as

28、 specified in the followingsections. Discrete barrier methods include, but are not limitedto, the following: structural bollards, trees, posts, and othervertical structures spaced no wider than 4 in.6.1.3 FencesAll vulnerable play areas shall have fenceswith gates as described in the following secti

29、on.

32、ll to the play environ-ment shall be provided with the following:6.2.1.1 An alarm capable of detecting unauthorized entry orexit through the gate or opening into or from the playenvironment area when not in use and which, when activated,emits a sound of sufficient volume to be heard in the buildingo

33、r dwelling as a means of outdoor area security when deemednecessary. The audible warning shall commence not more than7 s after the door, or its screen, if present, or both are openedand shall sound continuously for a minimum of 30 s. The alarmshall have a minimum sound pressure rating of 85 dB at 10

34、 ft3.4 m and the sounds of the alarm shall be distinctive fromother sounds such as auto alarms, smoke alarms, telephones,and door bells.
