Roadway Functional Classification

It is recognized that individual roads and streets do not operate independently in any major way.  Most travel involves movement through a network of roadways.  It becomes necessary to determine how this travel can be channelized within the network in a logical and efficient manner.  Functional classification defines the nature of this channelization process by defining the part that any particular road or street should play in serving the flow of trips through a roadway network.  Functional classification is the process by which streets and highways are grouped into classes according to the character of service they are intended to provide.  Functional classification involves determining what functions each roadway should perform prior to determining its design features, such as street widths, speed, and intersection control.
