B. 

On corner lots in residence districts, it shall be unlawful to plant, grow, maintain, erect or suffer to exist any structures, shrubbery, trees or hedges which shall obstruct the view of converging or intersecting traffic within a triangular section bounded by the two intersecting streets and a line drawn between two points 20 feet from the said intersection on each street or, if on a curved or rounded turn, within an area bounded by any fifty-linear-foot segment of an arc measured along the street curb and the chord connecting the ends of such arc. For the purpose of this chapter, shrubbery or hedges less than three feet high or tree branches more than nine feet high, measured from the gutter or curb level, shall not be deemed to obstruct the view.
