(a) Intercommunity Thoroughfares.
(1) Interstates or expressways possess extra-wide rights of way carrying high traffic volumes of unobstructed, limited-access vehicular movement.

(3) Minor streets are used primarily for access to abutting properties.
(4) Marginal access streets are minor streets which are parallel and adjacent to arterial streets and provide access to abutting properties and protection from major streets or thoroughfares.
(5) Cul-de-sac or dead-end streets are minor streets with only one outlet.
(6) Alleys are minor ways which are used primarily for vehicular service access to the back or the side of properties otherwise abutting on a street.
(c) Intercounty. A primary thoroughfare is a road which is used for intercommunity travel.
(d) Intracounty. A secondary thoroughfare is a minor road in a rural area which is used for travel within a township or from farm to farm.
