rear yard areas.
(3)
On corner lots, any fence within 24 feet of the intersection of the

In all zoning districts, at any point of entry from a driveway
onto a public street or right-of-way, nothing more than four feet

All fences facing a street shall be constructed with the finished
side exposed to the street. In the case of side yard and rear yard
fences, the finished side may face either direction except when regulated
by the New Jersey Construction Code for swimming pools.
