The sight distance at every point along a roadway
should be at least that needed for a below-
average driver or vehicle to stop.

Stopping Sight Distance
Stopping sight distance is the sum of the
brake reaction distance and the braking
distance .
BUT
The truck driver is able to see substantially
farther beyond vertical sight obstructions because
of the higher position of the seat in the vehicle.
Passing Sight Distance
Most roads and many streets are two-lane, two-way
highways on which vehicles frequently overtake slower
moving vehicles. Passing maneuvers in which faster vehicle
move ahead of slower vehicles must be accomplished on
lanes regularly used by opposing traffic. If passing is to be
accomplished safely , the passing driver should be able to
see a sufficient distance ahead, clear of traffic, to complete
the passing maneuver without cutting off the passed
vehicle before meeting an opposing vehicle that appears
during the maneuver.
When appropriate, the driver can return to the right lane
without completing the pass if he or she sees opposing
traffic is too close when the maneuver is only partially
completed.

Passing Sight Distance
When computing minimum passing sight
distances on two-lane highways for design use,
certain assumptions for traffic behavior are
necessary, some of which offer a wide choice.
