The sight visibility standards apply to the following districts: AG, R1, R2, R3, R4, MH, PB, B1, B2, TC, LI and HI. The intent of sight visibility standards is to provide for a safe vehicular and pedestrian transportation system. The visibility at intersections, driveways, curb cuts, and entrances are particularly important for the safe movement of vehicles and pedestrians.
(A) All intersections must maintain an area (sight visibility triangle) where primary or accessory structures, trees, vegetation (other than agriculture crops), or signs (other than road signs) are not allowed to be placed or to project between a height of three and eight feet measured from the nearest top-of-curb (or edge of pavement where curbs are not present). The sight visibility triangle is illustrated below.

(B) The sight visibility triangle shall be established by connecting points located along the intersecting rights-of-way at the distances from the point of intersection required by the table below.
