    ⋅ Stopping sight distance (SSD) or the absolute minimum sight distance
    ⋅ Intermediate sight distance (ISD) is defined as twice SSD
    ⋅ Overtaking sight distance (OSD) for safe overtaking operation
    ⋅ Head light sight distance is the distance visible to a driver during night driving under the illumination of head lights
