TYPEOLOGIES:
Freeways/Expressways
Controlled access, multi-lane roadway for higher speeds and longer distance travel. Carries traffic through the region. Minimal, if any, provisions for bicyclists and pedestrian.
Functional Class | Freeways and Interstate Highways |
Local Examples | I-10, I-65, I-165 |
Typical Section | 4+ travel lanes |
Speed Limit | 50 – 70 mph |
Other | Partial or full control of access, exclusive to vehicular travel |
Parkways/Boulevards
Multi-lane thoroughfare that sometimes includes a landscaped center median. Bicycle and pedestrian facilities generally are provided. Because of their higher volumes and travel speeds, they require safe separation between bicyclists/pedestrians and travelway. Accommodates travel into and out of the city with connections to the transportation network.
Functional Class | Principal Arterial/Minor Arterial |
Local Examples | Spring Hill Avenue (Hwy 98), Government Blvd, Airport Blvd |
Typical Section | 4+ travel lanes |
Speed Limit | 40 – 50 mph |
Other | Design should be responsive to the different context areas they may pass through |
Avenues
Two- to four-lane thoroughfares that connect important places. May function as a “main” street. On-street parking is typically provided. May include center medians. Balance mobility with access by supporting local development at the neighborhood level. Often include slower travel speeds and on-street parking.
Functional Class | Collector |
Local Examples | Dauphin Street, Old Shell Road |
Typical Section | Two to four travel lanes |
