This dropped to 2 .69 persons in 1980 . Circulation A modified version of the - North Carolina Highway Functional Classification System is used to describe Orange County ' s road network. This system describes parts of the network according to mobility and access factors. The most important roads , Interstates and arterial highways, provide the shortest travel time and best service between important activity centers . Roads of lesser importance, collector roads, do not provide as high a level of service, but do provide large areas with access to major roads. Local roads have the most limited service capacity, but in the aggregate serve to provide large land areas with access to the collector and arterial systems . The two most traveled roads in Cedar Grove Township are arterial highways ; NC86, extending northwest from Hillsborough towards Yanceyville; and NC49 , which bisects the northwest quarter of the township, running northeast from the Alamance County line. The two roads join Just south of the Caswell County line near the community of Prospect Hill .

These roads provide the most direct access to the arterial system in the northern part of the county.. All other roads provide a local level of service. The objective of any component of a transportation system, such as a street or highway, is to accommodate a specific amount of traffic while providing the operator with a specific level of service. A level of service ' C' is ' frequently used as an appropriate criterion for highway and _ street design purposes and is defined by the North Carolina Department of Transportation as a zone of stable flow with speed and maneuverability more closely controlled by higher volumes. Levels of service range from ' A, ' which is a condition of low volume and high speed, to the forced flow operation at low speeds that characterizes level of service ' F . ' 3 . g-7
