Overtaking sight distance - Oikoshishikyo

Japanese: 追越し視距 - おいこししきょ
Overtaking sight distance - Oikoshishikyo

Strictly speaking, it is defined as the distance at which the top of an object 10 cm high on the centerline of a lane or roadway can be seen from a height of 1.2 m above the centerline of that lane. When detecting an obstacle or a car on the road surface and braking to stop (braking sight distance) on a sharp curve or underpass, or when overtaking a slow-moving car (overtaking sight distance), it is necessary to be able to see a sufficiently safe distance ahead, and sight distance is an important factor that determines the geometric structure of the road. The required sight distance is determined by the driver's reaction behavior, the friction between the tires and the road surface, and the speed of the moving vehicle and the oncoming vehicle.

*Some of the terminology that refers to "passing sight distance" is listed below.

…厳密には車線または車道の中心線上1.2mの高さから,その車線の中心線上にある高さ10cmの物体の頂点を見通せる距離と定義される。急な曲線部や地下道で路面上にある障害物や自動車を発見して制動停止する場合(制動停止視距)や,低速の自動車を追い越す場合(追越し視距)など,十分安全な距離を前方に見通しうることが必要で,視距は道路の幾何学的構造を決定する重要な要素となっている。必要とされる視距は,運転者の反応挙動,タイヤと路面の摩擦,走行車両と対向車両の速度により決まる。…
