San Bernardino County Code prohibits obstructing sidewalks with merchandise, vegetation, or hoops. Trees must be trimmed to keep 8-foot vertical clearance over sidewalks.
San Bernardino County Code and California Vehicle Code 22500 prohibit blocking sidewalks, pedestrian paths, and public rights-of-way. Merchandise displays, portable basketball hoops, trash bins left out beyond collection day, parked vehicles, and similar obstructions violate county code. Property owners must trim trees and hedges to maintain minimum 8 feet of vertical clearance over sidewalks and 14 feet over streets, with horizontal clearance so branches do not impede the sidewalk width. Code Enforcement responds to complaints at (909) 884-4056. In unincorporated desert communities, many streets lack formal sidewalks, making pedestrian-path obstruction rules focused on designated walkways. Mountain communities with narrow shoulder walkways must keep paths clear, particularly during winter when snow or ice can compound obstruction issues. ADA accessibility requires 48-inch minimum clear width on sidewalks.
Sidewalk obstruction: administrative citation starting at $100, escalating to $500 for repeat violations. Failure to trim vegetation after notice: county trims at owner expense plus fee.
