Sight distance is one of the basic highway design criteria. Research was conducted to evaluate the specific parameters of perception and reaction time, eye height, object height, and braking distance. Current data on each parameter are presented in the report along with a discussion of the implications to existing design criteria. Information provided on driver and vehicle performance characteristics should be of use in assessing and reviewing existing design criteria.
