This report presents suggested guidelines for uniform application of no-passing zone treatments on rural two-lane highways at uncontrolled and controlled intersections, railroad grade crossings, narrow two-lane bridges, one-way bridges, school zones, roadside development, and transition sections between two-lane and divided highways. Two sets of guidelines are presented: (1) utilizing MUTCD standard signs and markings, and (2) utilizing an experimental advance treatment consisting of a short dotted line marking adjacent to the approach centerline and the NO-PASSING ZONE pennant sign. The guidelines include suggested lengths of no-passing zones to provide sufficient driver expectancy conditioing for the situations and suggested guidelines for installation. Minimum distances between successive no-passing zones for operational safety are also presented.
