Roseville continually upgrades the local road system according to its Pavement Management Program. The purpose of the program is to ensure the most efficient use ofpublic funds through scheduled roadway maintenance and the strategic investment in roadway reconstruction projects. There is considerable input from local residents and other stakeholders in this program. Functional Classification System The purpose of a functional classification system is to create a hierarchy of roads that collect and distribute traffic from neighborhoods to the metropolitan highway system based on the principles of access and mobility. Access describes the extent to which a roadway allows users to reach destinations on adjacent land, while mobility describes the extent to which a roadway accommodates through traffic. All roadways provide a mixture of access and mobility based on the design features of the roadway and the surrounding land uses.

The functional classification system used in Roseville conforms to the Metropolitan Council standards. The Metropolitan Council has published these criteria in its Transportation Development Guide/Policy Plan. This guide separates roadways into four primary classifications: principal arterials, minor arterials, collectors, and local roadways. These classifications address the function of state, county, and city streets from a standpoint of maximizing the safety and efficiency of traffic movement through the city while providing satisfactory access to residents and businesses. Figure 5.5 (Existing (2008) Roadway Functional Classification) displays the existing functional classes of roadways in Roseville. Table 5.2 displays the number of miles of roadway in Roseville by functional classification. Principal Arterials Principal arterials are the highest roadway classification and are considered part of the metropolitan highway system. Principal arterials include all Interstate freeways and other limited access facilities designed to maximize traffic mobility and safety These roadways are intended to connect the metropolitan centers with one another and to connect major business concentrations. Parallel facilities are typically spaced two to three miles apart, and interchanges are usually spaced at least one mile apart. Principal arterials place emphasis on mobility and provide very little , if any, access to adjacent land. They connect only with other principal arterials and select minor arterials and collectors. In Roseville, there are three principal arterials: I -35W, TH 36, and TH 280. These facilities are envisioned to continue functioning as principal arterials for the planned future of Roseville. Table 5.3 lists the principal arterials located within Roseville and quantifies daily traffic volumes.
