Folsom requires a 25-foot sight-visibility triangle at corner lots and driveway intersections. Within the triangle, no fence, wall, vegetation, or obstruction over 30 inches tall is permitted. Rule applies to all residential zones to protect traffic sight lines.
Folsom Municipal Code §17.96 and the Engineering Department standards require a clear sight-visibility triangle at every corner lot intersection (measured 25 feet from the curb face along each street) and at driveway-street intersections (typically 10 feet along the driveway and 10 feet along the curb). Within this triangle, nothing may exceed 30 inches above the adjacent curb elevation — this includes fences, solid walls, dense shrubs, signs, and vehicles. Trees with canopy fully above 7 feet are permitted. Enforcement is complaint-driven and often initiated by Folsom Police following near-miss or accident reports. Owners are given 30 days to remove or lower obstructions.
30-day abatement notice, then $100-$500 citation. City may abate at owner's cost if ignored. Liability exposure if accident results.
