Where you can hand out flyers on public sidewalks

(a) Handbilling is permitted on all public sidewalks to which this article applies, except: (1) In any area where clear pedestrian passage on the public sidewalk is less than 4 feet wide; (2) On the portion of a public sidewalk adjacent to any area designated as a bus stop or within 10 feet of either end of the bus stop. In areas where the length of the bus stop is not clearly identified, the front of the bus stop begins at the bus stop sign and extends 50 feet back from the bus stop sign; (3) Within a midblock crosswalk area; (4) On the portion of a public sidewalk crossed by a public or private driveway or within 10 feet of either side of the driveway; or (5) Within any street corner area. (b) For the purposes of this section: (1) Midblock Crosswalk Area. The sidewalk area that falls between the two lines 15 feet beyond each side of a marked midblock crosswalk (as defined by the crosswalk lines delineated on the street pavement) and perpendicular to the curb. (See examples of midblock crosswalk areas in Attachment “A,” Figures 13-7A.1 , 13-7A.5 , and 13-7A.7 .) (2) Street corner areas. (A) At street corners other than those subject to paragraph (B) or (C), “street corner area” means the sidewalk area at the intersection of two streets, circumscribed by the curbs, the property lines abutting the sidewalk area, and the following lines: (i) The line including the point along the curb of one street either: 10 feet beyond the far side of a marked corner crosswalk and perpendicular to the curb; or, where there is no marked corner crosswalk, 25 feet from the curb line of the intersecting street and parallel to the curb line; and (ii) The line including the point along the curb of the intersecting street either: 10 feet beyond the far side of a marked corner crosswalk and perpendicular to the curb; or, where there is no marked crosswalk, 25 feet from the curb line of the first street and parallel to the curb line. (See street corner areas marked diagonally on Attachment “A,” Figures 13-7A.2 , 13-7A.3 , and 13-7A.4 .) (B) Except as provided in paragraph (C), for street corners at a “T” intersection, at the two corners created on the stem street side of the crossbar street, the street corner area provision of this subdivision shall apply, and on the side of the crossbar street opposite the stem street, the midblock crosswalk area provisions of subdivision (1) shall apply. (See areas marked diagonally on Attachment “A,” Figures 13-7A.5 , 13-7A.6 , and 13-7A.7 .) For purposes of this definition, a “T” intersection is an intersection where one street, designated the “stem” street, terminates at another street, designated the “crossbar” street. (C) At the ewa side of the crosswalk crossing Beach Walk at its intersection with Kalakaua Avenue and at the ewa side of the ewa crosswalk crossing Saratoga Road at its intersection with Kalakaua Avenue, the “street corner area” shall be determined by application of the midblock crosswalk area provision of subdivision (1). Additionally, with respect to the intersection of Kalakaua Avenue and Saratoga Road, the area where handbilling is prohibited shall include the entire traffic island at that intersection. (3) For crosswalks that are delineated by two roughly parallel lines defining portions of the perimeter of the crosswalk, including crosswalks at intersections where pedestrians are permitted to cross in all directions at the same time (“ Barnes Walks ”), distances shall be measured from the point where the outer edges of the roughly parallel lines intersect the curb; provided that if they do not intersect the curb, distances shall be measured from the point where the outer edges of the roughly parallel lines would intersect the curb if they were extended to intersect the curb. (See Attachment “A,” Figures 13-7A.8 and 13-7A.9 .) For those crosswalks that are not delineated by roughly parallel perimeter lines, and which are defined by a series of roughly parallel rectangular blocks within the crosswalk itself, distances shall be measured from the points where the curb intersects the lines projected through the midpoints of the widths of the two full-length rectangular blocks nearest to the curb line. (See Attachment “A,” Figure 13-7A.10 .) For purposes of this subdivision: the “width” of a rectangular block shall be the shorter side of the block, the side roughly perpendicular to the nearest curb line; and a “full length” rectangular block is a block at least 80 percent of the length of the longest rectangular block in the crosswalk. (4) “Corner crosswalk” means a crosswalk, any portion of which is within 25 feet of the closest street corner. The measurement rule of subdivision (3) shall not apply to this definition. (5) “Curb line” means the line of a curb before its becoming curved at a street corner. (6) “Far side” of a marked corner crosswalk is the side of the crosswalk further from the closest street corner. (7) “Midblock crosswalk” means any crosswalk other than a corner crosswalk. (c) The figures in Attachment A are intended to illustrate the application of the regulations to midblock crosswalk areas and to street corner areas; however, the figures are not intended to represent every crosswalk or street corner in the area regulated by this article.
