What is the maximum height of groundcover plants allowed near pedestrian walkways?

The maximum height of groundcover plants allowed near pedestrian walkways is 2 feet. This standard is established to ensure safe visibility and accessibility for pedestrians. When plants grow too tall, they can obstruct sight lines, making it difficult for individuals to see oncoming traffic or other pedestrians, which can lead to accidents. Keeping groundcover plants at or below 2 feet ensures that they provide aesthetic value without compromising safety. This height restriction is especially important in urban environments, where the interaction between foot traffic and vehicle traffic is high. It balances the desire to beautify walkways with the need for clear visibility and safe navigation for all users.
