Passing Sight Distance (PSD): Flexibility in the AASHTO Guidelines

There is no requirement that PSD be provided for any two-lane road. Where it is possible to provide, PSD enhances the operation of the road, but it is not normally considered a "safety essential" design feature. Furthermore, PSD applies only to two-lane highways, and is not considered in the design of multilane facilities.
