In the case of rounded corners, the triangular areas shall be between the lot lines extended in a straight line to a point of intersection and so measured, and a third side which is a line across the corner of the lot joining the nonintersecting ends of the other two (2) sides. The following measurements shall establish clear vision areas:

50 | 28 | 20 |

Exceptions: Subsection A of this section shall not apply to public utility poles; trees trimmed (to the trunk) to a line at least eight feet (8') above the level of the intersection; saplings, or plant species of open growth habits and not planted in the form of a hedge, which are so planted and trimmed as to leave in all seasons a clear and unobstructed cross view; supporting members of appurtenances to permanent buildings existing on the effective date hereof; official warning signs or signals; places where the contour of the ground is such that there can be no cross visibility at the intersection; or to signs mounted ten feet (10') or more above the ground and whose supports do not constitute an obstruction as defined in subsection A of this section.
