In order for employees to safely use it at night, the on-site pedestrian circulation system must be adequately lighted.

The pedestrian circulation system shall be connected to other areas of the site such as a parking lot and any pedestrian amenities, such as plazas and resting areas.

All parking areas, driveways and loading areas shall be provided with a lighting system to adequately meet the needs of the area. All direct lighting shall be completely shielded from traffic on any driveway or street and from any residential district.
