Corner lots. At all street intersections, no obstruction to vision which is a hazard to vehicular movement and which exceeds 30 inches in height above the established grade of the street at the property line shall be erected or maintained on any lot within the triangle formed by the street lot lines of such lot and a line drawn between the points along such street lot lines 30 feet distant from their points of intersection.
