Description
A highway designed in conjunction with naturalistic landscaping, including a variable-width median. A parkway should include a wide right-of-way landscaped on both sides of vehicular lanes. A local, slow-movement thoroughfare suitable for low density environments. Roads tend to be rural in character without curbs or striping. A local, slow-movement thoroughfare suitable for general urban areas. Streets are urban in character, and flexible in the types of public frontages they support. A thoroughfare along the boundary between an urbanized and a natural condition, usually along a waterfront, a park, or a promontory. 1 side of a drive has the urban character of a street or boulevard, while the other has the qualities of a road or parkway. A limited distance, free-movement thoroughfare connecting civic locations within an urbanized area. Unlike a boulevard, its length is finite and its axis is terminated. An avenue may be conceived as an elongated square. A local, slow-movement thoroughfare suitable for high- intensity urban areas. Commercial streets are urban in character, supporting parallel or angled parking on both sides and narrow lanes appropriate for a commercial environment. A long-distance, free-movement thoroughfare traversing an urbanized area. A boulevard often includes a wide median and a wide public frontage and therefore a wide right-of-way. Access lanes are often provided to separate public frontages from the higher speed lanes. A narrow service access to the rear of more urban buildings providing service and parking areas and utility easements. Alleys, as they are used by trucks and must accommodate dumpsters, should be paved from building face to building face, with drainage by inverted crown at the center.
