No fence, wall, sign, structure, vehicle, or planting shall be erected, established or maintained on any lot which will obstruct the view of drivers in vehicles approaching an intersection of two (2) roads or the intersection of a road and a driveway or curb cut. Fences, walls, signs, structures, vehicles or plantings located in the triangular area described below shall not be permitted to obstruct cross-visibility between a height of thirty (30) inches and five (5) feet above the lowest point of the intersecting roads. The unobstructed triangular area is described as follows:
(a) 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) At street intersections, the sight triangle shall be formed by measuring at least thirty-five (35) feet along curb lines and connecting these points. Within the first twenty (20) feet of the street intersection sight triangles, no structure or landscaping material is permitted except required ground cover. Within the portion of sight triangle that is located between twenty (20) feet and thirty-five (35) feet, signs and trees shall be permitted only when the pole or trunk is the only part of a sign or tree that is visible between the ground and five (5) feet above the ground, or otherwise does not present a traffic visibility hazard.
