    The document discusses different types of sight distances that must be provided for in road design including stopping sight distance, passing sight distance, horizontal sight distance, and vertical curve sight distance. It provides charts from AASHTO for determining minimum sight distances based on roadway design speed and grade. It also gives examples of calculating the minimum length of vertical curves needed to provide adequate sight distance at a crest or sag based on connecting road grades and design speed.
