Where is pedestrian traffic forbidden unless in an assigned work area?

Pedestrian traffic is forbidden on all ramps and vehicle service roads unless within an assigned work area because these areas are designated for the movement of vehicles such as aircraft, airport service vehicles, and other machinery. Allowing pedestrian traffic in these zones poses a significant safety risk, as the presence of pedestrians can lead to accidents involving vehicles that need to operate in close proximity to aircraft and other essential ground support operations.

In contrast, terminal sidewalks, baggage claim areas, and parking lots are specifically designed for pedestrian use. These locations ensure that pedestrians can safely navigate without the hazards associated with vehicular traffic, making them appropriate places for foot traffic. Maintaining strict restrictions on pedestrian access to ramps and vehicle service roads helps ensure a safer environment for everyone involved in airport operations.
