Sight Triangle FAQ's
Intersection Visibility (also known as Sight Triangles) is an area defined by a driver's line of sight and identifies potential safety hazards.
Drivers need unobstructed horizontal and vertical views within what is called the Sight Distance Triangle, to be able to see oncoming traffic, pedestrians, and cyclists from any direction. Good sight distance is critical to reducing the potential for collisions.
Homeowners are responsible for keeping the intersection visibility area clear of obstructions on their property and out to the curb on the adjacent street.
If you live on a corner and you are not maintaining the intersection visibility area as required, the City may notify you to take care of the problem by a specific date. If the problem is not resolved within that time frame, the City may impose fines that could accrue daily until the work is complete.
