While the classification svstem describes the general functions and volumes of each tune of roadwa there is often overlap between classifications and actual characteristics. In some cases a lower classified street may carry higher volume than a higher classified street. These volumes are anticipated to balance in the future- as the Citv constructs new roadways and makes improvements to the circulation system.
