SC6.7.3 Road Hierarchy
(1) The definitions outlined below are general classifications. The ‘desired level of service’ outlines the sub levels for each of these
classifications.
(a) Arterial Roads Roads that serve mainly through traffic and link towns and major traffic foci. Access is generally prohibited
with no parking.
(b) Distributor Roads Roads that connect neighbourhoods, villages and key destinations and link to higher order roads.
Distributor roads are the highest order road to have direct property access.
(c) Collector Roads Roads that funnel traffic from local streets into higher order roads. Collector roads also provide access to
the lots fronting them
(d) Local Roads Roads with a traffic demand resulting only from vehicular access to the lots fronting them (includes culde
sacs and laneways)
(2) Desired standards of service for Arterial and Distributor Classifications are shown in Table SC6.7.1 and for Collector and Local
Classifications are shown in Table SC6.7.2
