Corner sight triangles are enforced via local zoning across Oneida County. Utica Zoning Ch. 28 requires a 25 ft clear triangle at intersections with max 30-inch obstruction height. Rome, New Hartford, and most towns follow similar AASHTO-based standards.
Utica Zoning §2-28-45(G) establishes a 25-ft x 25-ft corner sight triangle measured from the intersection of street rights-of-way, within which no fence, hedge, shrub, sign, or structure may exceed 30 inches in height. Rome Code §28-91(G) uses a 30-ft triangle in higher-speed corridors. Town of New Hartford §118-24 and Whitestown §160 follow AASHTO Green Book intersection sight-distance formulas keyed to posted speed limit. Exempt: open-post mailboxes, trees with canopy starting above 8 ft, and utility poles. Violations involve both the property owner and, if applicable, contractor who installed the obstruction. Code Enforcement typically issues 10-30 day cure notice before fines.
10-30 day cure notice first. Fines $100-$500 per day uncured. Emergency removal (after accident) at owner expense.
