What is Stopping Sight Distance?

What is Stopping Sight Distance?
Stopping sight distance is one of the several kinds of sight distance used in highway or street design. It simply means the minimum forward distance a vehicle driver needs (for a particular posted speed) to see in order to make a decision to stop the vehicle before colliding or hitting other vehicles or road users or road assets on the road.

Inadequate sight distance can adversely affect road user safety or roadway operations.

What is the Stopping sight distance along the highway?
Stopping sight distance (SSD) is the sight distance accessible along the highway at any given spot. It enables the driver to slow down or stop the vehicle (which is running at a specified road speed) safely without a crash when the driver observes an unexpected obstruction on the road.
