Sight distance is how far a road user (usually a vehicle driver) can see before the line of sight is blocked by a hill crest, or an obstacle on the inside of a horizontal curve or intersection. Insufficient sight distance can adversely affect the safety or operations of a roadway or intersection.
The design sight distance allows a below-average driver to stop in time to avoid a collision in most cases. Driver perception/reaction distance is calculated by: d PRT = 0.278 Vt (metric) d PRT = 1.47 Vt (US customary) Where: d PRT = driver perception-reaction distance, m (ft) V = design speed, km/h (mph) t = brake reaction time, in seconds
[9]: 431–433 Another benefit of all-way stops is assurance that vehicles enter the intersection at a low speed and have more time to take heed of the traffic situation, [9]: 430 especially useful when sight distance is highly restricted. Some of the disadvantages associated with all-way stops are: Increased emissions of hydrocarbons.
