- 7. Urban Functional System •Functions: carry most trips entering/leaving urban area, serve intra- urban trips, carry intra-urban and intercity bus routes, provide continuity to rural arterials Principal Arterials • Characteristics: longest distance routes and highest volume, high speed, spacing is less than 1 km in CBD and greater than 8 km in urban fringe, full/partial access control
- 8. Urban Minor Arterials •Functions: interconnect with and augment principal arterials, accommodate moderate length trips, distribute traffic, carry local buses, provide intra-community continuity, connect to urban collectors • Characteristics: moderate trip length high volumes, moderate speeds, spacing 0.2 to1.0 km in CBD and 3 to 5 km in suburbs
- 9. Urban Collectors • Functions:Provide traffic circulation within residential neighborhoods and industrial/commercial areas, collect traffic from locals and channel to arterials, carry local buses, provide some direct land access. • Characteristics: Shorter than minor arterials, moderate speeds, spacing intermediate to arterials, penetrates residential neighborhoods.
- 10. Urban Locals • Functions:Provide direct access to land, connect properties to higher class streets (i.e., collectors). • Characteristics: Short in length, dead end – terminate at collectors, low speeds, no bus routes.
- 11. Rural Functional System RuralPrincipal Arterials • Function: Statewide/Interstate Travel and Connect urbanized areas. • Characteristics: Long trips, no stubs, high speed, widely spaced, full/partial access control.
- 12. Rural Minor Arterials •Function: intrastate/inter-county trips, connect small urban areas with major trip generators. • Characteristics: Moderate everything (routes, speed, spacing, mostly mobility)
- 13. Rural Collectors • MajorCollectors: Connect county seats to large towns not served by arterials, link entities with nearby arterials, urban areas. • Minor Collectors: Serve remaining small towns, link local traffic generators with rural areas • Characteristics: Shorter, Moderate Speeds (in rural areas), Intermediate spacing.
- 14. Rural Local Roads •Function: Provide access to land on collector network, serve short distance travel. • Characteristics: Short routes that terminate at higher classes, relatively low speeds, intermediate spacing.
- 15. • This designatesroadways with greater visual complexity and high traffic volumes. Usually this type of freeway will be found in metropolitan areas in or near the central core. • Freeway is a common name for different types of limited access highways. Freeway
- 16. • Expressway isthe equivalent of what used to be called "Limited Access Roads". These roads may have some interchanges or stop signs where local roads connect to it. Expressway • Expressway have a partial access control • a broad highway designed for high-speed traffic.
