Abstract
The paper introduces design policies, model developments and the implementation of sight distances (SDs) in the interurban highway network in Israel. The SD types are stopping sight distance (SSD), decision sight distance (DSD), passing sight distance (PSD) and constrained passing sight distance (CPSD). In Israel, the implementation of SDs was resolved on the basis of highway categories included in the interurban highway system. The paper reviews and documents the developments of highway design parameters and constructed models of the SD types, specifically the perception–reaction time and deceleration coefficient required for SSD, DSD model formation and innovative concepts related to CPSD based on PSD model components. Compared with US design policy, the Israeli design policy resulted in slightly lower design values for SSD, DSD and PSD, but higher CPSD design values. The paper also refers to SD considerations that might impact the construction stages of a highway project. The developments presented are...
期刊介绍：
Transport is essential reading for those needing information on civil engineering developments across all areas of transport. This journal covers all aspects of planning, design, construction, maintenance and project management for the movement of goods and people.
Specific topics covered include: transport planning and policy, construction of infrastructure projects, traffic management, airports and highway pavement maintenance and performance and the economic and environmental aspects of urban and inter-urban transportation systems.
