(a) The commissioners court of a county by order may regulate the sight distance for an intersection that involves a county road and that is located outside the limits of a municipality. The commissioners court may:
- (1) define the appropriate sight distance;
- (2) prohibit an obstruction of the sight distance by any vegetation, loose earth, or other item except a building or other structure affixed to the ground, if the obstruction is a traffic hazard; and
- (3) provide for the removal and disposition of an obstruction maintained in violation of an order adopted under this section.
- (b) The commissioners court may not adopt an order under this section that conflicts with an ordinance of a municipality located in the county or with a rule adopted by a state agency relating to billboards or outdoor advertising. An order adopted in violation of this subsection is void.
