Final Classification & Threshold Assignment The results of the three-step process were consolidated into the simplified functional classification system shown in the table in Figure 1.2 . Each class includes associated access characteristics, planning-level capacity ranges, and typical lane configurations. These thresholds inform the development of cross- section typologies, ROW preservation needs, and long-range system planning throughout the MTP. This methodology anchors the roadway network in both modeled future demand and Fort Worth’s local operational context, creating a functional classification framework that is consistent, scalable, and well-suited for long- range planning.
