29 <br /> 3.11 BINGHAM TOWNSHIP 77 <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 the 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 /> The major arterial in Bingham Township's road network is NC 54 which provides the <br /> primary east-west connection between the urban areas of Chapel Hill/Carrboro and <br /> Burlington. Twe eOther important east-west routes are the aFteFial collector roads Old <br /> Greensboro Road (SR 1005) Bradshaw Quarry Road (SR 1115). Arthur Minnis Road <br /> (SR 1115\SR 1113),and the G9lleGt8F Fead Dairyland Road (SR 1177). <br /> Major Tqe north-south collector routes are , <br /> leweF leye! of rsew Orange Grove Road (SR 1006), <br /> , Dodsons Crossroads (SR 1102), Mebane- <br /> Oaks Road (SR 1007) and Buckhorn Road (SR 1114).
