Outdoor Seating Areas: How Many Meters Extend from the Shop

Outdoor seating area: shops extend a few meters outwards
Outdoor seating management for a pedestrian street. A narrow, elongated stone strip, made of the same material as the pavement but slightly darker in color, marks the boundary of the outdoor seating area, two meters from the building wall. Shop tables, chairs, parasols, and merchandise displays can only be placed within this line; outside the line is a completely clear passage. The scene shows four small round tables from a coffee shop, a row of benches from a restaurant, and a display stand from a flower shop all neatly within the line, not exceeding it. The parasol canopies are uniformly at a height of two point two meters or more, not obstructing sightlines. Because the boundary is clear, the street accommodates both commercial spillover and smooth passage. Avoid: letting outdoor seating cross the line and occupy the passage, eliminating the ground boundary markers, making parasol heights inconsistent, depicting outdoor seating as haphazardly piled.

一條徒步街道的外擺管理。地面上以一道與鋪面同材質但顏色略深的窄長條石標示出外擺的界線,距離建築牆面兩公尺;店家的桌椅、遮陽傘與商品展示只能放在這條線以內,線外是完整淨空的通行帶。畫面中可以看見咖啡店的四張小圓桌、餐廳的一排長凳、花店的展示台都整齊地落在線內,沒有超線。遮陽傘的傘面高度統一在兩米二以上不擋視線。因為界線明確,街道同時容納了商業的外溢與順暢的通行。避免:讓外擺越過界線佔據通行帶、消除地面上的界線標示、讓遮陽傘的高度不一致、把外擺畫成雜亂堆放。
