Street classification is the designation of streets and highways into systems according to the function they perform. The systems used for the Street Classification are:
(a) Freeway: A divided multi-lane highway for through traffic with all crossroads separated in grade with full control of access.
(b) Expressway: A divided arterial highway (not a freeway) for through traffic with full or partial control of access, medians, at grade intersections and some grade separations.
(c) Arterial: A general term denoting a highway primarily for through traffic usually on a continuous route. This facility provides for through traffic movement between areas, across the county, and to and from expressways. An arterial also provides access to abutting property but parking and loading may be restricted to improve the capacity for moving traffic.
(d) Collector: A street providing for traffic movement between major arterials and local streets, and direct access to abutting property. This facility provides for the internal traffic movement within an area of the City.
(e) Local: A street or road whose present function is to provide access to residence, business, or other abutting property. A local moves a vehicle from an individual property to the nearest collector.
