(A) At an intersection or railroad crossing where the village owns limited access right-of-way to provide a clear vision area, a driveway shall not enter or cross that clear vision area. At an intersection or railroad crossing where the village has an easement for a clear vision area, a driveway shall not enter or cross that clear vision area.
(B) Adjacent to and on both sides of a driveway, a buffer area between the right-of-way and the pavement edge shall be used, as determined by the Department of Public Works, to provide a physical barrier between street traffic and activity on private property. A buffer area is needed to provide an unobscured vision area and to prevent potentially hazardous movement of vehicles, especially at undesirable angles of approach, from and to the street. The buffer area shall consist of a lawn area, a low shrub area, a ditch or equivalent and shall not be used for the parking of vehicles. Where encroachment of vehicle parking on the buffer area takes place or may take place, the Department of Public Works may require the buffer area to be established by guardrail, guard posts, curb or equivalent.
