The one collector that corresponds to a minor thoroughfare is <br />Lebanon Road (SR 1306), has more significance at the county level than it does within <br />the Hillsborough study area. One collector in the county system is not classified in <br />the urban study areas. High Rock Road (SR 1340) connects into Lebanon Road only a <br />short distance into the Hillsborough urban study area and serves only a small portion <br />of that area. Most roads classified as major or minor local in the county study area <br />are not classified as thoroughfares in the urban areas. Harmony Church Road (SR <br />1339), which is classified as a minor thoroughfare, connects directly with Brookhollow <br />Drive, another minor thoroughfare. It is probably on the borderline between being a <br />collector or a major local road in the county. Since it is parallel to High Rock Road <br />(SR 1340) and has fewer of the collector characteristics, it was given the lower <br />classification. <br />13 <br />
