Expressways
• For Speedy and heavy traffic• Pedestrians not allowed• Connect main markets, important places• Complete separation of opposite moving traffic by a
divider or median• Level crossings, sharp curves, steep gradients
avoided• Telephone facility, Highway Police, Servicing Stations,
Refreshment Facility available at regular intervals

Arterial Streets
• For the heavy/important traffic inside the city• Usually along the expressways serving as
principal network of traffic flow• Join central business district with outside
residential areas• Parking, loading, unloading prohibited• Pedestrians are allowed to cross only at
intersections
![Page 4: 1. classification of urban roads 28 jun](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022013108/55872874d8b42ad8138b4635/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Sub-Arterial Streets
• Less traffic than arterial streets• Pedestrians are allowed to cross only at
intersections• Spacing varies from 0.5 km in central business
areas to 3 to 5 km in residential area.• Parking, loading, unloading usually restricted
and controlled

Collector’s Streets
• Meant for collecting the traffic from local streets to arterial streets
• Full access allowed from properties alongside• Situated in residential, commercial, industrial
areas• Few parking restrictions except for peak hours

Local Streets
• Open access from residents, business or other properties
• Does not carry large volume of traffic• Unrestricted parking and pedestrians allowed
