Major Thoroughfare. Serve as principle traffic-carriers throughout the urban area. Their primary function is to carry traffic, but they also may service abutting property. Too many property access points requires too many traffic signals. Too many traffic signals reduce thc travel speeds, capacity, and efficiency of a thoroughfare. Minor Thoroughfare. Serves to collect local traffic from the residential neighborhoods, commercial and industrial districts, and collector streets and distributes thc traffic to thc major thoroughfare system. These streets also access abutting property more frequently than thc major thoroughfare system. They cannot carry large volumes of traffic as well as the majors. Collector Street. Streets accessing neighborhoods and routes serving intra-city rather than intra- state travel. A collector street may carry a minor amount of through traffic, but thc system primarily carries local traffic.
