5 thoughts on “Indiana Supreme Court hears dispute over overgrown bush at rural intersection

  1. Elsewhere in the country, municipal and county governments have laws prohibiting any vegetation on private property that impedes a driver’s vision of oncoming traffic regardless of the presence of traffic signs. Why can’t Indiana jurisdictions enact a similar common-sense law? After all, private properties right end where they pose a risk to the right of safe passage on a public right-of-way.

    1. +1, you would think it would be common sense that the landowner would keep the bush maintained and trimmed enough not to obscure and hide a traffic sign such as a stop sign.

      You can’t tell me that he didn’t mow around this bush weekly and not know that it was covering a stop sign up.

    2. +1. This is common sense. If the landowner refuses to take care of it, the county should do it for them and send the landowner the bill.
