Silly question: How do you operate those disconnects?

It appears that the barrier places them out of reach- unless you climb upon the barrier.

Likewise, pulling the meters requires working space ... and I don't see enough. Lean over the rail? I'm not happy about that .... is there 36" between the face of those boxes and the rails?

Hotline, you're right about LB's requiring 'access,' but I see splicing points as requiring a greater level of accessibility. Your pic shows several LB's that are 'accessible,' but only if you're a hummingbird.
