STANDARD STREET CLASSIFICATIONS
An arterial highway is a major thoroughfare, used primarily for
through traffic rather than for access to abutting land, that is
characterized by high vehicular capacity and continuity of
movement. It is the City's policy to prohibit on-street parking
on major, primary and secondary arterial highways wherever
possible. Parking on tertiary arterials is reviewed on a case
by case basis.
A major arterial highway is designed as a six-lane, divided
roadway, with a typical right-of-way width of 120 feet, a
roadway width from curb to curb of 102 feet, and channelization
for left turn movement. A major arterial is designed to
accommodate between 30,000 and 45,000 vebic]e trips per day at a
level of service C, ~ajor arterials carry a large volume of
regional through traffic not handled by the freeway system.
A primary arterial highway is designed as a four-lane, divided
roadway, with a typical right-of-way width of 100 feet and a
roadway width from curb to curb of 84 feet. A primary arterial
is designed to accommodate between 20,000 and 50,000 vehicle
trips per day at a level of service C. A primary arteria]'s
function is similar to that of a major arterial. The principle
difference is capacity.
A secondary arterial highway is designed as a four-lane,
undivided (no median) roadway, with a typical right-of-way width
of 80 feet and a roadway width from curb to curb of 64 feet. A
secondary arterial is designed to accommodate between ]0,000 and
20,000 vehicle trips per day at a level of service C.
A tertiary arterial is designed as a two-lane, undivided,
unrestricted access roadway, with a typical right-of-way width
of 60 feet and a roadway width from curb to curb of 40 feet. A
tertiary arterial is designed to accommodate less than 10,000
vehicle trips per day at a level of service C.
A residential collector depicts a roadway with unrestricted
access that serves to collect traffic from local residential
streets and distributes traffic to the arterial highway system.
A residential collector is capable of handling through traffic
movement between two arterials. Typical dimensions are 56 feet
in right-of-way and ~0 feet of curb-to-curb roadway surface,
with one lane of traffic in each direction. On-street parking
may be permitted.
EXHIBll A
Level of Service (LOS) is generally defined as a measure of the
effectiveness of a highway in servicing traffic in terms of
operations conditions. The categories are ^ through F and
