4. Obstruction Prohibited. No person shall place or maintain any structures, fences, landscaping, or any other objects within any sight triangle area of this section that obstructs or obscures sight distance visibility through such structures, fencing or landscaping. Trees may be planted and maintained within the sight triangle area if all branches are trimmed to maintain a clear vision for a vertical height of one hundred thirty-two (132) inches above the roadway surface and the location of the trees planted, based on the tree species expected mature height and size does not obstruct sight visibility of the sight triangle area.
