Types of Roads Included:
Highways: The top of the hierarchy.
They are limited access, provide largely
uninterrupted travel over long
distances and are designed for high
speeds. Example: Everett Turnpike
Arterial Roads: The next level of
roadways. They serve to move large
volumes of traffic through a town or to
connect one section of town with
another section. Example: NH 101A
Collector Roads: Act to feed traffic to
or from local roads and arterials.
Collector roads provide direct access to
abutting properties and distribute it to
or from arterials. Traffic using a
collector is usually going to or coming
from somewhere nearby. Example:
Henri Burke Highway
