Antioch Municipal Code Art. 11 Site Obstructions at Intersections

No structure, vehicle, trailer, wall, fence, hedge or vegetation greater than three feet in height shall be permitted within a clear vision zone, with the exception of tree canopies featuring branches no lower than eight feet above the edge of pavement (see Figure 4). Clear vision zones at uncontrolled, non-signalized intersections shall be located within a triangular area bounded by the curb lines and a diagonal line joining points on the curblines located 50 feet back from what would be the point of these curblines' intersection. At controlled signalized intersections a triangle having 25 foot tangents at the curblines shall apply. For driveways a similar clear vision triangle shall be utilized featuring 25 foot tangents at the outside line of the driveway and the curbline (see Figure 5). These provisions shall not apply to existing public utility poles, traffic signs and signals, or corners where the contour of the land itself prevents visibility.
