To insure that landscape materials do not constitute a driving hazard, a sight triangle shall be observed at all street intersections or intersections of driveways and streets. Within this sight triangle, neither landscape material nor parked vehicles, except for required grass or ground cover, shall be permitted. Within the sight triangle, trees shall be permitted as long as, except during early growth stages, only the tree trunk is visible between the ground and eight (8) feet above the ground, or otherwise does not present a traffic visibility hazard.
(a) Driveway Intersection Sight Triangle. At intersections of driveways with streets, the sight triangle shall be established by locating the intersection of the street curb with the driveway edge, and by measuring from this point a distance of ten (10) feet along the driveway to a point and a distance of twenty (20) feet along the street curb to a point and connecting these points.
(b) Street Intersection Sight Triangle. At street intersections, the sight triangle shall be formed by measuring at least thirty (30) feet along curb lines and connecting these points.
