Jupiter requires a clear sight triangle at every corner lot with no fence, wall, hedge, or structure over 30 inches high within 25 feet of the intersection per Town Code Sec. 27-1641(f).
The 25-foot sight triangle is measured from the intersection of the two rights-of-way. Anything over 30 inches (2.5 feet) high is prohibited inside this triangle including fences, walls, hedges, trees with low canopies, mailbox structures, and parked trailers. Jupiter heavily enforces in neighborhoods with young children (Abacoa, Egret Landing) and cyclist/pedestrian corridors along the Loxahatchee River trail. Driveway sight triangles for residential driveways exiting onto collector roads use a 10-foot by 10-foot standard.
Sight triangle violation 250 dollars and 10-day correction order. Accidents traced to blocked visibility can become civil liability for the property owner.
