There is no governing standard for trail and park bridge design. For trail bridges the standard maximum opening between horizontal safety midrails is recommended at 9″ or less. Typical codes which govern building design recommend a 4″maximum opening for all railings and stairways. Based on this some of our clients specify 4″ openings.
