Sec. 20.5-101.
Sight distance triangles.
(a) Sight triangles shall be
required at all street intersections. Such sight triangles shall include
the area on each corner that is bounded by the corner radius formed by
the right-of-way/property line and a line connecting the property
monuments at the two ends of the corner radius.
(b) Signs, plantings, structures or other obstructions which obscure or
impede sight lines between three feet (3') and six feet (6') in height
above grade shall be prohibited within the sight triangle.
(c) The sight triangle shall be clearly shown and its purposes noted on
the final plat.
(d) A right-of-entry for the purpose of removing any object, material or
other obstruction that hinders the clear sight across the area shall be
dedicated to the county and the Virginia Department of Transportation.
(e) In the event the sight distance standards specified by the VDOT
Subdivision Street Design Guide are more restrictive than the
requirements of this ordinance, then the VDOT standards shall be
observed.
