I'm seeing a lot of drinking fountains like this in parks, with no protection around them:
CBC 11B-602.9 requires either wing walls or barriers for protection, or requires the fountain to be "otherwise positioned so as not to encroach on pedestrian ways". Similarly CBC/ADAS 307.3 requires some type of protection at max 27" AFF for objects protruding into a circulation path.
Question: On a very wide walkway (say 12' wide), or at the edge of a large plaza, at what point is the space so big that the DF is no longer considered "in the circulation path" and thus does not need protective barriers?
