A major arterial is a major thoroughfare designed to carry traffic between municipalities and other activity centers at a high rate of speed, generally more than forty-five (45) mph, and to provide connections with major state and interstate roadways. Arterials will consist of a minimum of four (4) lanes, and contain as few intersections and access as few driveways as possible. Typically, existing or new state routes are classified as arterial. Village streets serving as state routes may have additional requirements per ODOT standards.
