§ 16-416. Line-of-sight-obstructions.

Latest version.

To maintain line-of-sight safety for pedestrians and vehicles, the following criteria are to be used to determine the maximum sign sight-line encroachments for non-traffic signs at intersections:
(a)

Sight triangles. At the intersection of two or more streets, or a street and any driveway or alley controlled by a stop sign or a requirement to stop, no sign shall be located within the sight triangle unless either the top of the sign face is three feet or less above curb level, or the bottom of the sign face is seven feet or more above curb level. Such sight triangle is defined in section 16-271(c), sight obstructions.

(b)

Section 16-271(c) notwithstanding, the traffic engineer may deny the placement of any sign located so as to conflict with the clear and open view of devices placed by a public agency for controlling traffic, or a sign which obstructs a driver's or pedestrian's clear view of an intersecting road, alley or major driveway.
