These <br />roadways serve major activity centers in an urban setting and have the highest volume and longest trip <br />demand within a City. They interconnect other major corridors to accommodate trips entering and <br />exiting the City. These roads also serve the need for “intra-area” travel between the business district <br />and outlying Residential areas. An example of an Arterial in Pleasanton is Hopyard Rd. <br /> <br />Also, Arterials primarily serve intra-urban or Local travel, carrying traffic from Collector streets to and <br />from other parts of the City and limited access roadways. Access to properties bordering these streets <br />is subordinate to the primary function of moving traffic. The typical design speed on an Arterial is 45 <br />miles per hour, and it has two to four lanes, except in the case of some principal Arterials, which have <br />six lanes. Parking is generally not provided on Arterials. <br /> <br />Collector <br />The primary function of Collector Streets is a combination of access and mobility. These streets provide <br />links between Local streets and Arterials. They are designed to serve neighborhood traffic rather than <br />cross-town traffic, including trips between adjacent neighborhoods. The design speed for Collectors is <br />typically 35 miles per hour. On-street parking is usually provided. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />6 These roads are consistent with the City’s General Plan. <br />Page 178 of 228
