Ulster County municipalities enforce sight triangle rules at street corners, typically requiring fences and vegetation under 3 feet within 25 to 30 feet of intersections.
Kingston requires clear sight triangles of 25 feet from the intersection of street lines, with nothing over 2.5 feet in height. Woodstock specifies 30-foot sight triangles with maximum 3-foot obstruction height. New Paltz requires 25-foot triangles. These rules apply to fences, hedges, and ornamental plantings.
