§ 46-921. Traffic visibility.  


Latest version.
  • No substantial obstructions, such as structures, parking or vegetation, shall be permitted in any district between the heights of two and one-half feet and ten feet above the plane through the mean curb grades adjacent to the triangular space formed by any two existing or proposed intersecting street or alley right-of-way lines and a line joining points on such lines located a minimum of 15 feet from their intersection. In the case of arterial streets intersecting with other arterial streets or railways, the corner cutoff distances establishing the triangular vision clearance space shall be increased to 50 feet. These restrictions may be modified in the B-3 district on a case-by-case basis, when, in the opinion of the plan commission, such modifications would further the objectives of the district. Necessary utility poles and traffic, directional and street name signs approved by the public agency having jurisdiction may be permitted within such triangular areas. Vision triangles at intersections with state and county trunk highways shall meet the vision corner requirements of the state or county highway agency that has jurisdiction, but in no case shall they be less than those specified herein.
