Looking at some building codes and it seems that if I do 3 steps and then a 3 foot landing, then another 3 steps and another 3 foot landing, repeating this pattern I don't need any railing. Is this correct or am I missing something?

This is to replace a dirt path with something that's easier to walk on. 12 feet of run with a 3 foot rise if using 6" high stairs with a 12" run tread is what I calculated.
