23 <br /> 3.8 CHEEKS TOWNSHIP 71 <br /> Circulation <br /> A modified version of the North Carolina Highway Functional Classification System is <br /> used to describe Orange County's road network (see Section 2.6 - TRANSPORTATION <br /> of this plan for complete description). This system describes parts of the network <br /> according to mobility and access factors. The most important roads, Interstates and <br /> arterial highways, provide the shortest travel time and best service between important <br /> activity centers. Roads of lesser importance, collector roads, do not provide as high a <br /> level of service, but do provide large areas with access to major roads. Local roads <br /> have the most limited service capacity, but in the aggregate serve to provide large land <br /> areas with access to the collector and arterial systems. <br /> All principal east-west transportation corridors through <br /> Orange County run through Cheeks Township. Major east-west highway corridors <br /> include Mnine and one-half miles of interstate highway (1-85); and over seven miles of e <br /> ffajeF arterial highway (US 70),. In addition, eEight miles of rail line (Southern RR) <br /> traverse the township following those major east-west highway corridors. <br /> . The pr+esipal collector routes are: <br /> N. Efland Cedar Grove Road (SR 1004-1357), S. Efland Cedar Grove Road (SR 1004 <br /> Forrest Ave (SR 1322), 1-85 Connector, Buckhorn Road (SR 1114), Mt. Willing Road <br /> (SR 1120), Mebane Oaks Road (SR 1007), Bowman Road (SR 1142), West Ten Road <br /> (SR 1144), Lebanon Road (SR 1306) west of SR 1004, Frazier Road (SR1342 and <br /> SR1310) High Rock Road (SR1340), Highland Farm Road (SR1332) and Mill Creek <br /> Road (SR 1343). <br /> , <br /> aaaeptable-level-e€-sewire.Ale ' <br /> epeffifiens at lew speeds FnaFked by an „ <br /> „ <br /> Township's The 1987 eveffige daily ve!UffieS Fanged ftem a high ef 1,400 vehaeles peF day (Ypd <br /> Mill GFeek Read just ReFth ef 6ebai;en Read te a lew ef 390 vpd en Mt. 01illing Read at <br /> flew. <br /> F:\PLANNING\KLINCOLN\compplan\transele-doc\2-10-00\2-15-00 <br />
