A. Angle Of Intersection: Streets shall intersect at ninety degrees (90°) or as closely thereto as possible, and in no case shall streets intersect at less than seventy degrees (70°).
B. Sight Triangles: Minimum clear sight distance at all minor street intersections shall permit vehicles to be visible to the driver of another vehicle when each is one hundred feet (100') from the center of the intersection.
1. Obstruction To Vision At Intersections, Alleys And Driveways: No person shall plant, install, create, maintain or possess on public or private property an obstruction to the vision of a driver of a vehicle at an intersection, alley or driveway which constitutes a traffic hazard.
Prima facie evidence of an obstruction constituting a traffic hazard shall exist if any object, structure or thing, except buildings and residences which are otherwise in conformance with law, is allowed to exist which exceeds three feet (3') above the existing roadway centerline elevation within the triangular area formed by the intersecting roadway edges and a straight line joining said roadway edges at points which are forty feet (40') distant from the point of an intersection measured along said street edges. At alley and street intersections, the dimensions shall be forty feet (40') along the street edge and fifteen feet (15') along the alleyway edge. At driveway and street intersections, the dimensions shall be one hundred feet (100') along the street edge and ten feet (10') along the driveway edge on the left side of the driveway as viewed when facing the property from the street, and the dimensions shall be one hundred twenty five feet (125') along the street edge and ten feet (10') along the driveway edge on the right side of the driveway as viewed when facing the property from the street. Trees and utility facilities are allowed in such triangular area provided that no tree limb or growth extending from said limb shall be maintained or allowed to exist nearer than eight feet (8') from the surface of the ground.
C. Number Of Streets: No more than two (2) streets shall cross at any one intersection.
D. T Intersections: T intersections may be used wherever such design will not restrict the free movement of traffic.
E. Centerline Offsets: Street centerlines shall be offset by a distance of at least one hundred twenty five feet (125').
F. Vertical Alignment Of Intersection: A nearly flat grade with appropriate drainage slopes is desirable within intersections. This flat section shall be extended a minimum of one hundred feet (100') each way from the intersection. An allowance of two percent (2%) maximum intersection grade in rolling terrain, and four percent (4%) in hilly terrain will be permitted. (Ord. 994 §2, 2006)
