A no passing zone study is required for proper striping of 2-lane roadways. Changes to roadways and growth of foliage in the right-of-way lends itself to having the study performed every several years. Aside from the protection from lawsuits, proper zoning makes your roads safer for the travelling public. Since 1987, MasterMind has surveyed tens of thousands of highway miles for hundreds of DOT, county, and township agencies around the country.
Methodology
MasterMind utilizes a two vehicle sight light method to establish no passing zones caused by vertical or horizontal curves. All data is collected using our own patented, state of the art RoadMasterTM NPZ System. Sight height and zone lengths are per your state's MUTCD specs. Zone lengths and intersection approach zones can be customized to your own specifications.
BENEFITS
- Greater control over centerline requirements
- Easily develop a comprehensive striping plan
- Simplifies paint striping contract preparation
- Accurate results
- Low cost to implement and maintain
- Graphical logs make for effortless t-marking (indexing)
MasterMind® "No Passing Zone" graphical logs are the most popular in the business. Comprehensive, easy to use paper based graphic roadlogs make for easy use in office. Logs normally display 1 mile per page but can be scaled to 1/4, 1/2, 1, 2, and 3 mile per page scales. These roadlogs also make T-marking, or indexing, the road a simple procedure. Lineal footage, paint, and bead quantities can be easily calculated. Logs are generated by our own StripeMaster 6TM No Passing Zone module software.
This study can be quoted to include a copy of the MasterMind® StripeMaster 6TM No Passing Zone module for our Traffic Safety SuiteTM software. All gathered information will be loaded into the software for you. Your NPZ line data can also be pulled into our PaintMaster 6TM software for creation of striping bid plans for calculating extremely accurate paint/bead costs.

Dear Mr. Hickman:
Please be advised that your work on our County Road System to check and update our No Passing Zone Survey was very well coordinated and the final records were presented to us in a timely manner and professional layout for practical use.
The survey was utilized by our paint contractor and it was easy for the operator to follow as the work progressed over the County.
The complete survey is logged into our computer system and a very accurate record can be quickly reviewed at any time.
We would highly recommend your services to any agency maintaining or updating their No Passing Zones on the road systems.
Sincerely,
William G. Camburn, P.E.
