Sight-triangle rules apply at all Broome County intersections. Typical requirement: no fence, wall, or vegetation over 3 feet within 25 feet of corner curb lines. Binghamton, Johnson City, Endicott, and Vestal enforce through their zoning code. Violations are handled by municipal code enforcement officers for traffic safety.
Binghamton Zoning Ch. 410 and Vestal Zoning Chapter 203 require a 25-foot sight triangle at intersections measured from curb lines; nothing over 3 feet in height may obstruct the view. Johnson City Code Ch. 295 applies a similar 25 ft x 25 ft triangle. Endicott Village extends the triangle to 30 feet on state highway intersections. The rule covers fences, hedges, signs, and parked vehicles. Corner lots on Broome County roads fall under the county highway right-of-way, which is enforced by Broome County Department of Public Works. Violations are abated by notice, and repeat cases can result in county-contracted removal with costs billed to the property owner.
Code violations $100-$500; continued obstructions can result in county-contracted removal with costs added to the tax bill.
