Volumes on principal and minor arterial roadways are expected to be higher <br />cal roadways. <br />A well-planned and adequately designed system of principal and “A” minor arterials will allow the <br />City’s overall street system <br />u <br />than on collector or lo <br /> <br />“B” minor arterials serve medium to long distance trips. There are several “B” minor arterials within <br />the city including County Road I, Long Lake Road (south of County Highway 10), and the portion of <br />County Road H between Silver Lake Road and County Highway 10. <br /> <br />Collector Streets <br />Collector streets provide more land access than arterials and provide connections to arterials, although <br />not in all cases. As is the case with any roadway system, there will always be exceptions to the <br />planning guidelines that are used to classify a roadway system. Collectors serve a dual function of <br />affic and the provision of more access to adjacent properties. Mobility and land <br />obility is slightly emphasized over access.

Collector road spacing ranges from ¼ to ¾ of a mile in a fully developed area to ½ to <br />1 mile in a developing area. One may divide collector streets down further into major collectors and <br />minor collectors. <br /> <br />Major collectors generally connect to minor arterials and serve shorter trips within the county or city. <br />These roads supplement the arterial system in that m <br />c <br />• County Road H (west of Silver Lake Road) <br />• County Road H2 <br />• Long Lake Road <br /> <br />jor ollector/minor arterial system.
