Locating The Points of the Sight Distance Triangle

Horizontal
The orgin from which distances are measured is located at 14.5' back from curb or pavement line of Major street and
6.5' from nearest curb of Minor Street.
Looking Left, measure 6.5 feet off of the nearest curb or edge of travel lane (does not include shoulder).
Looking Right if right turn is within 175', measure to the center of the fartherst travel lane travelling to the left (does not
include shoulder).
Looking Right if right turn is not within 175', measure to the nearest travel lane travelling to the left (does not include
shoulder).

Vertical
The driver's eye is 3.5 ft above the road surface and the object to be seen is 3.5 ft (driver's eye height for the
approaching vehicle) above the surface of the intersecting road. Although the average vehicle height is 4.35 ft, 3.5 ft is
used to ensure that driver of each vehicle can see the other vehicle.

Clear Vision within the Sight Distance Triangle

Clear vision areas must be free of visual obstructions (e.g., structures, walls, fences and vegetation which are higher
than three (3) feet and lower than eight (8) feet above the street pavement.
