TO BE DELETED AND REPLACED WITH PROPOSED <br /> SECTION 2.6 TRANSPORTATION <br /> - - 35 <br /> TABLE 4 <br /> SUMMARY OF CLASSIFICATION COMPARISON <br /> Recommended Thoroughfare Plan <br /> Classification Classification Fumber <br /> Principal Arterial Major Thoroughfare 4 <br /> Minor Arterial : Major Thoroughfare 4 <br /> Collector Major'- Thoroughfare 9 <br /> Minor Thoroughfare 1 <br /> Unclassified 1 <br /> Major Local Minor Thoroughfare 1 <br /> Unclassified 4 <br /> Minor Local Unclassified 1 <br /> 24 <br /> As can be seen from Tables 3 and 4, major thoroughfares on the urban <br /> area plans generally corresponded to principal arterials, arterials, <br /> and collectors in the county classification system. The one <br /> collector that corresponds to a minor thoroughfare, Lebanon Road (SR <br /> 1306) , has more significance at the county level than it does within <br /> the Hillsborough study area. One collector in the county system is <br /> not classified in the urban study areas. High Rock Road (SR 1340) <br /> connects into Lebanon Road only a short distance into the <br /> Hillsborough urban study area and serves only a small portion of that <br /> area. Most roads classified as major or minor local in the county <br /> study area are not classified as thoroughfares in the urban areas. <br /> Harmony Church Road (SR 1339) , which is classified as a minor <br /> thoroughfare, connects directly with Brookhollow Drive, another minor <br /> thoroughfare. It is borderline between a collector or a major local <br /> road in the county. Since it is parallel to High Rock Road (SR 1340) <br /> and has fewer collector characteristics, it was given the lower <br /> classification. <br /> MEN <br /> Right-of-way requirements were also compared. The recommended right- <br /> of-way for all thoroughfares in *the Hillsborough plan is at least 100 <br /> feet, which is generally consistent with the 110 feet recommended for <br /> arterials and exceeds the recommended width for collectors. The <br /> recommended right-of-way for the thoroughfares under the 19 76 Chapel <br /> Hill-Carrboro transportation plan was only 60 feet but will be_ <br /> upgraded to at least 100 feet as part of the D-CH-C plan. <br /> 2.6-13 <br />
