=== Sightlines ===
=== Sightlines ===
When constructing plantings directly adjacent to roadways, it is important to avoid obstructing the required sightlines as set out in the MTO Geometric Design Standards for Ontario Highways. Under the standard, there are various types of sightlines such as stopping, passing and decision sight distance that must be met depending on the scenario at hand. Of the various sightline types, adequate stopping sight distance must be provided at all intersections and roadways so that a vehicle must be able to see far enough ahead to perceive an object, react to it and bring the vehicle to a stop before reaching the object in question.
