Acceleration, Deceleration, and Stopping Sight Distance Criteria for Geometric Design of Highways and Streets

This report presents (1) the results of a study that reviewed and evaluated available guidelines for acceleration, deceleration, and stopping sight distance criteria for geometric design of highways and streets and (2) proposed changes. Implementing these changes could result in reduced environmental impacts, savings in construction costs, and reductions in construction time. The information contained in this report will help highway agencies and other organizations address relevant issues when considering the planning of highways and streets.
