NFPA 502 Covers vehicles and not pedestrians. It is intended to address the protection of limited access highways. I do know of a section within NYS Building Code where it is addressed in section 3104.

3104.1General.​

This section shall apply to connections between buildings such as pedestrian walkways or tunnels, located at, above or below grade level, that are used as a means of travel by persons. The pedestrian walkway shall not contribute to the building area or the number of stories or height of connected buildings.
