CIRCULATION ELEMENT Master Plan of Streets and Highways - Street Classifications The Master Plan of Streets and Highways (MPSH) is illustrated in Exhibit A-4. Typical cross -sections for arterial streets are shown in Exhibit A-5. Most arterial roadways have been constructed to these standards. The functional classifications serve to categorize roadways based upon their use. The City does not intend to widen all roadways in the City to the cross-section standards merely to conform with the standard, but as travel demand and congestion warrant such widening.. Each arterial roadway is assigned to one of the following five functional classifications: • Principal Arterial -Typically, an eight -lane, divided roadway designed to accommodate between 45,000 to 67,500 vehicle trips daily. The typical right of way width is 144 feet. • Major Arterial - Generally consists of six -travel lanes, and is also divided. Typically, the right-of-way width for this type of roadway is 120 feet. A major arterial is designed to accommodate between 33,900 and 50,600 vehicle trips daily. • Primary Arterial - Generally consists of a four -lane, divided roadway. Typically, the right-of-way width is 100 feet. A primary arterial is designed to accommodate between 22,500 and 33,800 vehicle trips daily. • Secondary Arterial - Generally a four -lane, undivided roadway. The typical right-of-way width for this category of roadway is 80 feet. A secondary arterial is typically designed to accommodate between 15,000 and 22,500 vehicle trips daily. • Commuter Street - A two-lane, undivided roadway carrying less than 10,000 vehicle trips per day. The right -of way width for this roadway classification is 60 feet. Collectors are also two-lane undivided roadways with a right-of-way width of 56 feet. Page 2 of The City contains 413 miles of roadway-112 miles of arterial streets and 301 miles of local streets.
