Special corridor designations State Highway System, Primary Multimodal Streets, Local Connector Streets, Rural Streets, Multimodal Connections (Trails and Shared-Use Paths) on Map 5.1 2040 Major Thoroughfare Map, with additional cross section variations in B3 code (13 street types) Freeway, Arterial, Collector (non- thoroughfare), Local (non-thoroughfare), Special Corridors (Beltline RR, Greenway) Includes arterials, plus Parkways, Primary Residential Streets, Business Streets, Industrial Streets, Country Roads, Country Arterials, and Rustic Roads and Exceptional Rustic Roads.
Area types implicit in street type descriptions
Typical section selection process uses inputs including modal elements to code a range of typical sections for each street type
MTP specifies a suite of cross-sections for each segment based on modal priorities and available ROW
Fort Worth, Texas
MTP provides ample guidance and detailed procedures for flexibility
Special districts with unique street types
Place Types Nature, Rural, Neighborhood, Neighborhood Mix, Core, Employment Center, Civic Space, Planned Development District
Typical cross sections for functional classification and place types are shown in plan and B3 Code
Bastrop, Texas
Modal elements depicted in cross sections
Standards in B3 Code are adjustable
Target widths and cross section elements identified in ROW Standards and Design Guidelines table for each road type, based on number of lanes, speeds and area type
Indianapolis- Marion County
The ROW Standards and Design Guidelines Table specifies modal elements for each combination
Design guidelines are prototypical, not “one- size-fits-all”
Context Areas: Compact and Metropolitan
Master Plan guides street design
Montgomery County, Maryland
Pedestrian priority areas, Transit components of the plan are mapped and considered in design
Context Sensitive Design Standards, cross sections, target speeds
Road Code: Urban, Suburban, Rural
Target speeds based on road classification and area types
