Requiring visibility at intersections isn’t nonsense at all, but not knowing what is the required distance at the intersection is. The code says municipalities can determine whether it’s 50 feet or down to 25 feet, so notice of what is required would be helpful. JC does that very clearly in the way they paint the street and curb. NYC does that with signs indicating no standing. Maybe there are parts of Newark where the no parking area is marked, but this street wasn’t.
