Intersection Sight Distance (ISD): Mitigating Limited Intersection Sight Distance

Where limited ISD exists according to the AASHTO Green Book (2), the designer has a number of options depending on the nature of the sight restriction. Every attempt should be made to eliminate sight restrictions such as trees, vegetation, signs, and movable obstacles. Where such obstacles cannot be moved, field investigations can determine whether the driver can safely position the vehicle such that actual sight lines (versus those specified in the design model) are clear.
