2. Existing Roadway System The sections below provide information about the existing roadway system Roseville, including existing number of lanes, existing roadway jurisdiction, existing functional classification, existing traffic, existing safety, and access management. This chapter also includes summary recommendations from recent plans and corridor studies. 2.1. Functional Classification The functional classification system groups roadways into classes based on roadway function and purpose. Functional classification is based on both transportation and land use characteristics, including roadway speeds, access to adjacent land, connection to important land uses, and the length of trips taken on the roadway. The functional classification system organizes a roadway and street network that distributes traffic from local neighborhood streets fo collector roadways, then fo minor arterials and ultimately the principal arterial system. Roads are placed info categories based on the degree fo which they provide access fo adjacent land and mobility for through traffic. Functional classification gives an indication of the relative hierarchy of roadways in the transportation network. Four classes of roadways are included in the seven -county metropolitan area functional classification system: principal arterials, minor arterials, collector streets, and local streets. Figure 1 shows the existing functional classification of each road in the City of Roseville and Figure 2 shows the existing roadway jurisdiction. The following sections describe each functional class in greater detail and indicate which roadways fall into each classification.
