Corner-lot sight triangles in Nassau County typically limit fences, walls, and hedges to 30 inches tall within 25 to 30 feet of the intersection of two street right-of-ways.
Hempstead Town Code 202 Sec 321, North Hempstead Chapter 70, and Oyster Bay Chapter 246 establish corner visibility triangles. Glen Cove and Long Beach city codes adopt similar 25 to 30 foot triangles. The restriction applies to fences, walls, shrubs, and any obstruction. The goal is preserving driver sightlines for vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians.
Violation fines typically 250 to 1,000 dollars plus mandatory reduction or removal of the obstruction within 30 days.
