Passing Sight Distance Calculation Guide

This document discusses passing sight distance, which is the distance required for a driver to pass another vehicle traveling in the same direction. It lists the elements that make up total passing sight distance, including preliminary delay distance, distance occupied in the left lane while passing, clearance length after passing, and distance traveled by the opposing vehicle. An example calculation is provided to determine the total passing sight distance required for a road with a maximum design velocity of 60 kph.

PASSING SIGHT DISTANCE

Initial maneuver distance, m (ft)


Distance while passing vehicles occupies left lane, m (ft)
Clearance length, m (ft)
Distance traveled by the opposing vehicle , m (ft)

Note: To determine see the AASHTO A Policy on Geometric Design


of Highways and Streets and/or Section 47-2 of the BDE Manual

 Total Passing Sight Distance (PSD) =


 Minimum Passing Sight Distance =
 Elements of Total Passing Sight Distance
1. Preliminary delay )

2. Occupation at the left lane

3. Clearance length ( to 90 m (AASHTO) : 15 m to 80m (DPWH)


4. Opposite Vehicle (

Example: Determine the passing Sight Distance if the road design for the
maximum velocity is 60 kph.

Solution
1. Preliminary delay
)

2. Occupation at the left lane

= 173.47 m

3. Clearance length (

4. Opposite Vehicle (

Total Passing Sight Distance = 411.87 m
