At a skewed-angle intersection with the acute angle to the right of a driver on the minor roadway (the approach required to stop or yield), the vehicle body may obstruct the minor-road driver's line-of-site. Body parts that may obstruct the line-of-sight include the door frame, a panel aft of the door, or the cargo 'box' of a single unit truck. In this research project, the angles at which drivers' lines-of-sight were obstructed by the body of their vehicles were measured.
