Abstract:

An examination of the state of knowledge was conducted for the purpose of evaluating design criteria for safe stopping sight distance. The evaluation was specifically concerned with driver perception-reaction time, design friction factors, assumed speeds for design, driver's eye height, and object height. The evaluation was addressed to design criteria as presented in "A Policy on Geometric Design of Rural Highways, 1965," by the AASHO.
