Systems and methods for determining passing and no-passing zones on a roadway. The systems utilize sensors such as an inertial measurement unit, a distance measuring indicator, and a GNSS unit to track the position and orientation of a vehicle as it travels along a route. The systems also utilize a 360° camera and a lidar sensor to generate 360° footage and a lidar map, respectively, of the route. The methods utilize the data and images generated by the system to make line-of-sight determinations for various locations along the route. These determinations are then utilized to determine where passing and no-passing zones should be on a roadway
