A collector roadway distributes traffic between lower order streets, and major collectors, and/or arterial streets. The collector's purpose is primarily to promote free traffic flow in commercial and residential areas when projected traffic conditions indicate wider lanes would be appropriate. Direct access for adjoining lots should be limited where possible. Collectors should not be used for on-street parking and may provide linkages to adjoining developments to improve vehicle circulation. Village streets serving as state routes may have additional requirements per ODOT standards.
