(A) To ensure that structures, signs, and landscaping do not constitute a driving and pedestrian hazard, a "sight triangle" shall be observed at all street intersections, and all intersection of streets with railroad tracks. Within the sight triangle, no obstruction of any kind shall be permitted between a height of two feet and eight feet above the mean elevation of the street. The B-3 Business/Downtown district shall be exempt from these requirements because of large scale development, low traffic speeds, and adequate traffic controls.
(B) The sight triangle shall consist of the following; or other dimensions having a similar effect when intersections are not 90°.
(1) Intersecting streets shall have a sight triangle with two sides being 15 feet along the abutting rights-of-way lines, measured from their point of intersection, and the third side being a line connecting the ends of the other two lines.
(2) A street intersecting a railroad track shall have sight triangle with two sides being 25 feet along the abutting rights-of-way lines, from their point of intersection, and the third side being a line connecting the other two lines.
(3) A street intersecting a driveway shall have a sight triangle with one side being 15 feet along the right-of-way edge, one side being ten feet along the abutting driveway pavement, and the third side being a line connecting the other two lines. Driveways to single- and two-family homes are exempt from this provision.
