<br />It is a misdemeanor for any person to place,

<br />tion of the public. An electrical cord or device of
<br />any kind is included, but not by way of limita-
<br />tion, within the definition of an obstruction. This

<br />or state road authorities, their agents, employees,

<br />(Code 1984, § 6.07(1); Code 2003, § 18-2; Ord. No.

<br />Except for a governmental agency for the
<br />purposes of screening or noise attenuation, vis-
<br />ibility at corner lots where two or more streets/
<br />roadways intersect shall be unobstructed between
<br />a height of 3 1/2 feet and eight feet above grade
<br />(as measured along the elevation of the lowest
<br />abutting segment of street/roadway) within a
<br />triangular area described as beginning at a point
<br />where the projected curblines (or projected road
<br />bed lines, including any shoulder in the absence
<br />of curbing) intersect, thence 30 feet along one
<br />street/roadway, thence diagonally to a point 30
<br />feet from the point of beginning along the other
<br />street/roadway. The exception to the regulations
<br />in this section shall be where there are plantings
<br />and/or other features within the visibility triangle
<br />that do not result in obstructions totaling more
<br />than three feet in width. Nothing in this section
<br />authorizes the use of public right-of-way for
<br />installation of fencing, walls, plantings, or other
<br />features. The regulations contained in this sec-
<br />tion shall not apply to conditions that legally
<br />existed prior to the effective date of the ordinance
<br />from which this section is derived unless the city,
<br />or the county or state transportation depart-
<br />ment, determines that such conditions constitute
<br />a traffic safety hazard.
