1. Pedestrian Service Areas.

a. Drive-through facilities must provide at least one walk-up service area. Examples of a walk-up service area include an indoor service area directly accessible from a public street or an outdoor walk-up service window. Walk-up service areas must be accessible by customers arriving on foot, using a mobility device, or by bicycle.
