e. 
Street hierarchy. Each street within a traditional neighborhood development shall be classified according to the following (Arterial streets should not bisect a traditional neighborhood development):
1) 
Collector. This street provides access to commercial or mixed-use buildings, but it is also part of the Village of Greendale's major street network. On-street parking, whether diagonal or parallel, helps to slow traffic. Additional parking is provided in lots to the side or rear of buildings.
2) 
Subcollector. This street provides primary access to individual residential properties and connects streets of lower and higher function. Design speed is 25 miles per hour.
3) 
Local street. This street provides primary access to individual residential properties. Traffic volumes are relatively low, with a design speed of 20 miles per hour.
4) 
Alley. These streets provide secondary access to residential properties where street frontages are narrow, where the street is designed with a narrow width to provide limited on-street parking, or where alley access development is desired to increase residential densities.
