Township zoning resolutions in unincorporated Franklin County require clear sight triangles at corner lots and driveway intersections. Fences, walls, and plantings generally may not exceed 30 to 36 inches within a 25-foot triangle measured from the intersection of curb lines.
ORC 5589.01 makes obstructing a public road a minor misdemeanor when it creates a hazard. Township zoning enforces the sight-triangle standard through zoning certificates. Violations on state routes (SR-3, SR-161, SR-315) additionally fall under ODOT right-of-way rules. Contact Franklin County at (614) 525-3322 for enforcement.
Contact your local code enforcement office for specific penalty information.
