Design engineers shall use either of the following grates whenever
they use a grate in pavement or another ground surface to collect
stormwater from that surface into a storm drain or surface water body
under that grate:

The New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) bicycle safe
grate, which is described in Chapter 2.4 of the NJDOT Bicycle Compatible

A different grate, if each individual clear space in that grate has
an area of no more than seven square inches, or is no greater than
0.5 inches across the smallest dimension.

Examples of grates subject to this standard include grates in
grate inlets, the grate portion (non-curb-opening portion) of combination

opening has two or more clear spaces) shall have an area of no more
than seven square inches, or be no greater than two inches across
the smallest dimension.
c.

with one inch spacing between the bars; or
4.
Where the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection determines,
pursuant to the New Jersey Register of Historic Places Rules at N.J.A.C.
7:4-7.2(c), that action to meet this standard is an undertaking that
