The Department of Transportation, when determining the need for a crosswalk within a community subject to the Property Owners' Association Act (§55.1-1800 et seq.), shall waive any requirement that a certain number of individuals cross such highway within a particular period of time if the location of the proposed crosswalk is adjacent to and providing access to a facility that attracts pedestrians or generates an increased pedestrian presence. The provisions of this section shall not be construed to authorize the Department of Transportation to waive any safety or engineering standards other than the requirement that a certain number of individuals cross such highway within a particular period of time.
