(A) In addition to the other provisions contained in this subchapter, a clear view at the intersection of two streets shall be maintained within a triangular area formed by the property lines and a line connecting them at points 40 feet from the intersection of such lines; whichever is the least restrictive, except for a reasonable number of posts, telephone or power poles, pruned trees and pedestal type identification signs. To maintain this clear view, the following standards shall apply:
(1) No solid-type fence or other visual obstructions between three and seven feet in height from the street elevation (measured from the elevation of the adjoining sidewalk) shall be allowed;
(2) Open-type fences or other obstructions which are at least 50% transparent are allowed to a height of four feet though they must be maintained to permit clear and unobstructed view; and
(3) Pruning is required for trees with an overhang less than seven feet above the street elevation (measured for the elevation of the adjoining sidewalk) in the clear view area.
(B) A clear-view area shall also be maintained at the intersection of a street and a private drive within a triangular area formed by a diagonal line connecting the line of the curb of the street and the line of the edge of the private drive at points 20 feet from the projected intersection of such lines. In order to maintain this clear view, the standards outlined in (A)(1), (2) and (3) above shall apply.
(C) The owner of any fence or wall shall have the duty and be required to properly maintain the same by painting, treating, trimming, repairing, or removal.
