B. TRANSPORTATION PLAN The major thoroughfare plan has been designed as a "skeletal framework" of the Land Use Plan . Only when considered in this context can it be effectively implemented and , therefore , fulfill its intended purpose. Standards An adequate system of thoroughfares must be capable of meeting the needs of general categories of vehicular traffic : Local Traffic : That which terminates or originates in Hugo and whose needs are best met by a cohesive system of local thorough- fares related to the local land use pattern and through-traffic facilities . Through Traffic : That which has neither an ' origin or destination within the Village. To meet these specific needs , the thoroughfare plan designates each street in the Village according to its intended function for planning design , and development purposes . The general street classification according to function is as follows : Major Thoroughfares : A two or four-lane route , usually not divided , designed to serve major traffic move- ments within the Village and to provide access to + reeways and expressways (80-150 ' right-of-way) . Minor Thoroughfares and Collectors : Thoroughfares designed to provide for traffic movement between major thoroughfares , collect traffic from minor streets and provide some direct access to abutting property (66 ' minimum right-of-way) . Minor Streets : A local street providing for direct access to abutting property and for local traffic : orement to collector streets . (40 ' Minimum right-of-way. ) The thoroughfare plan designates the various classes of traffic movement as outlined above. Much of this system already exists and has been previously studied in the Survey and Analysis . The objective here is to extend and capitalize on the existing major street improvements in the Village with each recommendation closely related to its place in the system as a whole and its effect on the land use patterns . The major features of the Plan are as follows : 26
