EXPRESSWAYS (Multi-lane Highways) represent a multi-lane divided facility with a high level of access control (interchanges, limited at-grade intersections, right-in/right out access, and no traffic signals). BOULEVARDS (Arterials, 25-55 MPH) represent a typically divided facility with moderate access control (at-grade intersections, right- in/right out access, and traffic signals at major intersections). OTHER MAJOR THOROUGHFARES (Arterials, 25-55 MPH) represent undivided facilities with four or more lanes (US and NC routes may have less than 4 lanes). These facilities typically have low access control (at-grade intersections, access to development, and traffic signals at major and some minor intersections). These facilities are typically within an urban or suburban area (e.g. within a municipality or ETJ). MINOR THOROUGHFARES (Arterials 25-55 MPH) represent a 2-to- 3 lane undivided facility that is not signed as a US or NC route. These facilities typically have low access control (at-grade intersections, access to development, and traffic signals at major and minor intersections). These facilities are typically within an urban or suburban area (e.g. within a municipality or ETJ). RURAL 2-LANE HIGHWAY (Two-Lane Highway, 55 MPH ONLY) represents a 2-lane undivided facility outside of a municipality or ETJ. These facilities have a 55 MPH posted speed limit, have low access control with numerous driveways and no traffic signals. These facilities are classified in a CTP as other major thoroughfares if they are a US or NC route or minor thoroughfares if they are a secondary or local route. 4 Updated 10/14/2011
