Art. 65 Roads Act (StrG) - Field of Vision

1. The field of vision includes the area in which the unobstructed view of road users must be ensured for traffic safety reasons. The standards of the Swiss Association of Road Professionals and the road traffic legislation are decisive.

2. Regardless of the statutory road distance regulations or building lines, constructions and installations may neither be erected nor altered if this would impair the necessary visibility conditions of road users. This provision applies correspondingly to plants.

3. Anyone seeking approvals under this law must demonstrate the required field of vision. If the field of vision affects neighboring properties, the applicant must provide the written declaration of the affected landowners for keeping the field of vision clear and the consent to record it as a public-law property restriction. The field of vision is to be noted as a public-law property restriction on the affected properties at the applicant’s expense.

4. For reasons of traffic safety, fields of vision may be imposed on adjacent land at intersections, in curves, at driveways, and at road junctions in a road construction project, during the granting of approvals under this law, or by order in individual cases.
