Urban Principal Arterial roads carry most of the traffic entering and leaving an area. They include interstate highways, limited access freeways and expressways, and other principal arterial roads with unrestricted access.

Urban Minor Arterial roads interconnect and augment the urban principal arterial system. They also distribute traffic to smaller, local geographical areas.

Urban Collector roads provide both access service and traffic circulation within residential neighborhoods, commercial and industrial areas. They also collect traffic from local roads and channel it into the arterial system.

Urban Local roads comprise all roads not on one of the higher systems. They serve primarily to provide direct access to abutting roads and access to the higher order systems. Through traffic is discouraged on local roads.
