(b) On both sides of a designated limited access facility if:

(i) Route is signed to prohibit pedestrians; or

(ii) Pedestrian facilities are provided on an adjacent parallel route;

(c) On one side if the roadway is a frontage road immediately adjacent to a limited access route; or

(d) On one side if the roadway is immediately adjacent to a railroad or other facility considered dangerous to pedestrians.

(2) All other sidewalk deviation requests require board action.
