Huntington requires a clear sight triangle at intersections: fences, walls, and hedges on corner lots cannot exceed 30 inches within 25 feet of the corner under Chapter 198 zoning.
Town Code 198 sight-triangle provisions prohibit any obstruction over 30 inches within 25 feet of the intersection of two street lines on corner lots. This applies to fences, walls, hedges, shrubs, and stored objects. The Highway Department and Building Department enforce the rule to ensure driver visibility. Corner lots on Route 25A, New York Avenue, and other arterials may have larger sight triangles required by Suffolk County DPW.
Orders to cut back or remove plus fines of $250-$500 per week of continued obstruction.
