Design Process (General) Much is decided in early stages (concept and alternative
planning/design) Environmental concerns and public involvement are very
important Involves generating full range of alternatives and technically
evaluating One of the most important parts of the design process is
determining what purpose (or who) a roadway serves?

Classification schemes: Design Type – Design and Traffic Engineers
– examples? Route – Traffic Engineers, cartographers? Administrative – Financial and Program
Managers Function – Planners and planning engineers

Functional Classification
Determined by system network planning (how it fits in system)
Goals: Match trip portion with roadway Aggregate trips safely and efficiently Satisfy trip demands Fit to the context/environment
Basis of Current Design Approach (form follows function)
Defines Design Standards Sizing based on function and demand

Roadway Functional Classes
Determined by characteristics:
function access density traffic demands trip length expected speed

Three Major Roadway Classes and their functions: Arterial (high mobility,
low access, long trips, fast speeds)
Collector (moderate, moderate, moderate, moderate)
Local (low, high, short, slow)
