A. 
The Town Planning Board shall determine and designate into which of the three following classifications each proposed highway falls on the basis of one or more of the criteria hereinafter set forth:
(1) 
Major or through highway. (See Figure 1.[1])
(2) 
Commercial or industrial highway. (See Figure 2.[2])
(3) 
Rural- or suburban-type highway. (See Figure 3.[3])
B. 
Final plans shall be drawn to show, and the developer shall construct each highway in accordance with, the particular specifications for its designated classification as also hereinafter set forth, as well as in accordance with the specifications common to all classifications.
Determining criteria for classification shall be as follows:
A. 
Major or through highways. (See Figure 1.[1])
(1) 
The proposed highway is the direct and logical continuation of an existing highway that carries 500 or more heavy and light vehicles during a twelve-hour period as shown on the latest count.
(2) 
The proposed highway creates a shorter and more convenient through-traffic artery so that it can be reasonably expected that traffic will be diverted from other major highways to such an extent that it will reach at least 500 cars in 12 hours two years after opening.
(3) 
The proposed highway could logically be expected to become a major highway because of future construction or other foreseeable circumstances.
(4) 
Heavy traffic (trucks) described as being more than 10% of the design hour traffic and at least half of the trucks are anticipated to be at or near legal maximum weight.
B. 
Commercial and industrial highways. (See Figure 2.[2])
(1) 
The proposed highway is in an area zoned for commerce or industry.
(2) 
The proposed highway is on or is so close to the dividing line between a residential and a commercial or industrial area that it may reasonably be expected to carry a substantial volume of heavy vehicles.
(3) 
The proposed highway creates a shorter and more convenient route between a commercial or industrial area and a major traffic artery.
(4) 
The proposed highway for any other reason may be expected to carry a substantial volume of commercial or industrial traffic.
C. 
Rural and suburban highways. (See Figure 3.[3])
(1) 
This classification is intended to cover the majority of subdivision roads.
(2) 
The proposed highway shall not be or be reasonably expected to become a through, commercial or industrial highway.
(3) 
The proposed highway shall be a dead end, loop or minor highway within a residential development.
(4) 
The proposed highway is not or cannot reasonably be expected to become a continuation or extension of a highway of one of the other two above-described classifications. Should such be the case, the proposed highway shall take the classification of the highway of which it is a continuation or extension.
(5) 
The proposed highway does not or cannot reasonably be expected to carry a substantial volume of traffic.
