Table V-4
Functional Classification of Streets
| ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Classification
|
Description
|
Projected Traffic Volume
| ||
Arterial
|
A public street intended to carry a large volume of local and
through traffic, to or from collector streets and expressways; controlled
access
|
3,000+
| ||
Collector
|
Channels traffic from local to arterial or other collector streets;
includes main streets within a development
| |||
Residential
|
No direct access to residential lots.
|
1,000 to 3,000
| ||
Nonresidential
|
Number of access drives limited; may require marginal access
drives
|
800+
| ||
Minor collector
|
Provides direct access to lots, and conveys traffic from local
to collector streets
| |||
Residential
|
Not more than 500 trips from direct frontage lots permitted
|
500 to 1,000
| ||
Nonresidential
|
Nonresidential
|
0 to 800
| ||
Local
|
Serves primarily to provide direct access to abutting property;
should be designed to discourage through traffic
| |||
Residential
|
Provides direct access to residential lots and to other residential
streets
|
0 to 500
|
Table V-5
Suitability of Traffic Calming Measures

---|---|---|---|---|
Traffic Calming Measure
|
Arterial
|
Collector
|
Town Center
|
Local Road
|
Midblock bulb-outs
Midblock bulb-outs reduce the width of the roadway for a midblock
section. They shorten crossing distances for pedestrians and draw
attention to pedestrians via raised peninsulas. Bulb-outs can be built
within the marked on-street parking area or on residential roadways
over 20 feet in width.
|
*
|
*
|
*
|
*
|
Restriping
Streets can be restriped to create lanes that are nine feet
to 11 feet wide. The excess space can be used to create bike lanes
or marked on-street parking on one or both sides. Bicycle lanes shall
be five feet wide minimum, and on-street parking shall be seven feet
wide minimum. The parking can be staggered to create a weaving path
on the roadway, further informing drivers that caution should be used
in the neighborhood.
|
*
|
*
|
*
|
*
|
Gateways
Gateways appear to narrow the street, and also serve as highly
visible entryways into neighborhoods. Gateway features can also double
as transit waiting areas.
|
*
|
*
|
*
| |
Unmarked on-street parking
Allowing on-street parking on streets without designated on-street
parking areas will create a series of single-lane yield points wherever
parked cars are present. This "informal" single-lane yield point occurs
when the street width is narrow enough to prevent simultaneous passing
of two moving vehicles past a parked vehicle. For streets up to 30
feet in width, allowing parking on both sides of the street is necessary
to create a yield point.
|
*
|
*
| ||
Textured pavement
Textured pavement is an effective traffic calming measure. The
advantages of a textured street are that it is aesthetically pleasing
and it calms traffic better as it ages as the surface wears out. Installation
costs are higher than those for asphalt roadways, but long-term maintenance
costs are lower. However, textured pavement can be loud.
|
*
|
*
|
*
|
*
|
Raised intersections
Raised intersections slow cars down throughout an entire intersection,
providing an extra level of safety for pedestrians crossing an intersection.
This improvement may be most appropriate for commercial areas where
both vehicular and pedestrian traffic volumes are high. Textured pavement
can also be part of this improvement.
