Saratoga Springs City Code Section 240-14 requires a 25-foot sight triangle at corner lots with a 30-inch maximum height for fences, walls, shrubs, and signs. Clifton Park (Section 208-63) uses a 30-foot triangle with 36-inch maximum. Halfmoon, Wilton, Malta, and Ballston Spa follow similar 25-30 foot triangle standards. Sight triangles are measured from curb intersections along each street frontage.

Violations often cited after accidents.
