Intersection Sight Distance Clause Samples
Intersection Sight Distance. Most of this analysis can be done in the office from As- Constructed Plans. Many times those intersections with deficient sight distance will also show up during the accident analysis. The Safety Investment Program may consider those intersections with accident histories for improvement, but even those without a history have a potential. These intersections will probably have opportunities to incorporate low cost mitigation elements with the project to diminish accident potential. Deficient intersections should be reviewed on-site with the Region Traffic Engineer to aid in identifying mitigation measures.
