Site Covered4.1 A play zone shall be protected in accordance with thisspecification in locations that are vu

25、lnerable to vehiculartraffic, from activity and game conflicting uses, and for thecontrol of entering or exiting the play zone or area. Protectionfrom vehicular intrusion shall be placed as specified in Sections6 and 7. Barriers shall protect the perimeters of the play areathat are adjacent to the d

26、irection of traffic, and only apply tothose perimeters that are parallel and perpendicular to thedirection of traffic. Playground enclosures, such as fences,walls, or buildings, shall be on all sides of the play zone.5. Significance and Use5.1 This specification sets forth minimum standard require-m

27、ents for use in local codes and ordinances relating to public,multi-family, residential, and commercial outdoor play areas orzones and their environments.5.2 This specification does not have the effect of law, nor isit intended to supersede local codes and ordinances of a morerestrictive nature.5.3

28、Playgrounds that intentionally incorporate water into theplay area are exempt from this specification.6. Methods of Protection6.1 Discrete and Continuous BarriersThese methods ofprotection shall be determined by the vulnerable play area orplay zone requirement for protection for vehicle intrusion an

29、dadjacent traffic circumstances. If a fence itself complies withthe impact tests described in 7.1, then a barrier is not required.6.1.1 Continuous BarrierIf a vulnerable play area has noexterior exit gate on the traffic side of the play zone, then theplay area shall be protected with a continuous ba

30、rrier 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 limited to, guardrails, concrete or brick reinforcedwalls, and concrete Jersey barriers.

31、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 specified in the followingsections. Discrete barrier methods include, but are not

32、 limitedto, the following: structural bollards, trees, posts, and othervertical structures.6.1.3 FencesAll vulnerable play areas shall have fenceswith gates as described in 7.6. This method of protection mayinclude chain link and other materials of a minimum height of4 ft (1.22 m) above grade.6.1.4

33、BuildingWhere a building may abut or is adjacent toa play area or play zone, it may be used as part of thecontainment. If the building wall contains a door for ingressand egress into the play area, it shall comply with subsequentsections. If the building wall contains windows for viewing, itshall co

34、ntain glazing that is unbreakable and shatter-proof.6.2 BuildingsThe fence shall completely surround theplay zone or area environment except where a building ordwelling or portion thereof is utilized as part of the playenvironment enclosure. If the exterior wall or walls of thatportion of the buildi

35、ng contains doors, or other openings, itshall comply with the following provisions.6.2.1 DoorsDoors in the wall of a building or dwellingthat allow direct access through the wall to the play environ-ment shall be provided with the following:6.2.1.1 An alarm capable of detecting unauthorized entry or

36、exit 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 buildingor dwelling as a means of outdoor area security when deemednecessary. The audible warning shall commence not more than7 s aft

37、er 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 ftF2049 11 (2017)2(3.4 m) and the sounds of the alarm shall be distinctive fromother sounds such as auto alarms, smoke alar

38、ms, telephones,and door bells. The alarm shall automatically reset after 2 minunder all conditions.7.
