HIGHWAY SIGHT DISTANCE DESIGN ISSUES: AN OVERVIEW
This paper presents a brief overview of the conference session at which the papers in this Record were presented. The goal of this session was to present the best current thinking on the development and presentation of design criteria and values for stopping sight distance, passing sight distance, intersection sight distance, decision sight distance, and railroad-highway grade crossing sight distance. In looking at the adequacy of current design criteria and values, a major focus was the compatibility of these values with current and future operations of large trucks.
