The presentation by Gurkirat Singh categorizes roads into four main types: local/residential roads, collector roads, major arterial roads, and expressways/freeways, each serving different traffic volumes and purposes. Local roads provide access to properties, while collector roads transition traffic to arterial roads. Major arterial roads manage substantial traffic in urban areas, and freeways prioritize high-speed, safe traffic flow.

2. Classification
of Roads
• Local/Residential Roads and Streets – a local
road or street serves primarily to provide
access to farms, residences, businesses or
other abutting properties. The traffic flow is
local in nature, rather than interstate.
• Collector Roads and Streets – it’s a public
highway usually serving moderate traffic
volumes and serves to move traffic from local
streets to arterial roads.
• Major Arterial Roads – arterials carry large
volumes through urban areas and its design
vary from freeway to with fully controlled
access to two lane streets.
• Expressways/Freeways – Freeways are
arterial highways with full control of access.
They are intended to provide for high levels
of safety and efficiency in the movement of
large volumes of traffic at high speeds.
