A. Vehicles parked adjacent to private driveways, in some cases, create hazardous obstructions to the line of sight of motorists entering and exiting from such driveways.

B. It is the purpose and intent of the Council to mitigate the dangers arising from the inability to observe approaching vehicles, especially on heavily trafficked streets, by providing red curb clearance adjacent to such driveways. Such red curb shall be authorized only when the narrowness of the driveway, or the nature and volume of the traffic on the street into which the driveway allows vehicles to pass, combined with the regular parking of vehicles adjacent to the driveway, indicate a need to maintain sight clearance adjacent to the driveway.

C. Upon application by the property owner or occupant and payment of the required fee(s), the City Engineer may cause to be painted or repainted a red curb for a minimum distance of 18 inches on each side of a driveway to a maximum distance as determined by the City Engineer.
