**§ 196A-11.1 Walkways**

A. Definition and General Restrictions

(1) A walkway is an elevated or at-grade structure used as a walkway to traverse fresh or salt meadow, marsh, bank, dune, or beach. It differs from a dock in that it begins and terminates above mean high water, even though it may cross over a point that is below mean high water.

(2) A walkway may not be attached to a float or structure which would facilitate its use by boat.

(3) A walkway may not be permitted in the future as a pier or a dock unless it meets all the criteria for a new dock.
