The report presents a proposed passing sight distance design concept to integrate design and striping based on the safety, operational and legal aspects of the passing maneuver. Passing maneuvers under actual highway operating conditions were photographed and analyzed to determine operational characteristics during high-speed passing maneuvers. Minimum passing sight distances and minimum lengths of passing zones are recommended. New applications of the proposed design concept that considers both the required sight distance and zone length are discussed.
