1 SCHEDULE D TO RECOMMENDED OFFICIAL PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 40 SCHEDULE C-4 Road Criteria Criteria Traffic Service Objective Land Service/Access Typical Daily Traffic Volume Flow characteristics Travel Speed Goods Movement Connectivity Transit Pedestrian Provisions Cycling Provisions Parking Minimum Intersection Spacing Right-Of-Way Width Classification Criteria Definition Roads of higher classification should serve inter-regional and regional traffic movements over relatively longer distances. Lower order classifications should cater to local traffic movements over shorter distances and provide access to abutting property. Direct access from adjoining properties to roads of higher classification should be limited or restricted in recognition of their through traffic function, and for traffic safety and flow reasons. Lower order classifications should provide direct access to abutting lands where, assuming the entranceway can be positioned in a safe location. Roads of higher classification being the principal routes between traffic generating centres should accommodate higher traffic usage relative to roads of a lower classification, taking into account urban and rural differences. Roads primarily servicing traffic movement should have traffic control and design characteristics that permit uninterrupted flow. On lower classification roads, drivers should expect interrupted flow due to the frequency of accesses and, and the presence of more traffic control devices, parked vehicles and pedestrian crossings. The road cross-section, geometry and the roadside environment generally determine the operating speeds on a roadway. Speed limits are typically posted at the 85 th percentile operating speed. Roads of higher classification with emphasis on long distance travel should be designed to accommodate higher operating speeds than roads of lower classification. Long distance commercial vehicle operation should occur on roads of higher classification and be discouraged on local roads. Roads should connect to other roads with the same or similar functions, and to roads that are directly above or below them in the hierarchy. Roads of higher classification should be the focus of more frequent and higher-order transit service, including rapid transit service. Lower classes of roads should generally accommodate bus operations of a more local nature. Pedestrians, including those with mobility, hearing, visual and cognitive impairments should be accommodated in all classifications except where prohibited by the Highway Traffic Act (freeways). Safe and accessible pedestrian space should be provided along all roadways. Safe, comfortable and convenient roadway crossings should be provided at intervals that allow pedestrian movement between destinations and intersecting pedestrian routes and facilities. On roads of higher classification, cycling should only be restricted where prohibited by the Highway Traffic Act (freeways). On higher speed, higher volume roads, cycling facilities should provide safe space for cyclists such as bike lanes and cycle tracks. Complimentary multi-use trails may be provided in the boulevard along these roadways where the driveway and side-street intersection spacing exceeds 300 m as an optional route for cyclists and to provide for other trail users. On lower volume and lower speed roadways a shared-use facility such as a sharrow may be appropriate. Parking should be prohibited or restricted on roads of higher classification to provide for clearway conditions, while curbside parking may be accommodated on lower road classes. Roads of higher classification should have limited, appropriately spaced side road connections and should not be intersected by lower class roads. They may be grade-separated or controlled at-grade by well co-coordinated traffic control signals or modern roundabouts. More frequent intersection spacing is acceptable on lower classes of road. These may be controlled at grade using regulatory signs and other traffic control mechanisms, including traffic calming measures. The cross-section of roads can range from divided, multi-lane facilities for higher classifications, through to two-lane undivided facilities for lower classes of road. This criterion is related to route capacity as well as maneuverability of heavy vehicles. The Page 1 of 6

2 Continuity Cross Section Features Vehicle Priority Network Spacing ultimate cross-section for a road generally evolves over time as traffic volumes increase. As such, rights-of-way should be of sufficient width to accommodate the ultimate cross-section. Right-of-way widths should account for the space to accommodate pedestrians, cyclists and streetscape elements. Roads of higher classification have longer continuous road sections, serve inter-municipal or inter-regional traffic and transit and are characterized by higher volumes of through traffic. Lower order roads have shorter road sections, serving shorter local trips play a key role in providing access to adjacent properties. All roadways provide places for social and economic interaction of residents and visitors. Roads of higher classification tend to be higher capacity routes with relatively higher operating speeds and traffic volumes, with enhanced features such as acceleration/deceleration lanes, climbing and passing lanes, and intersection turn bays to improve traffic flow. Lower classes tend to have lower capacities with lower operating speeds and traffic volumes. Cross-sectional widths should allow for the placement of utilities, streetscape elements, pedestrian and cycling facilities and transit stops where appropriate. Roads of higher classification are likely to provide priority capacity for particular modes/uses by way of bus lanes, truck lanes, bicycle facilities or transit lanes. Lower road classes generally provide for mixed traffic. The spacing of roads in the hierarchy normally relates to the density of activity occurring in the area. Roads of higher classification will be spaced more widely apart than the lower road classes, which provide for a completed grid to enable efficient traffic circulation. Criteria Arterial Classes Municipal Road Classes Traffic Service Objective Land Service/Access Traffic movement primary consideration. serves inter-regional and inter-municipal trips Rigid/Progressive access control. Permit private access generally located a minimum of 200 metres apart in Urban Areas Permit large scale commercial and industrial developments, mixed use developments and higher density Traffic movement major consideration. serves inter and intra-municipal trips Incremental/Progressive access control Permit private access generally located a minimum of 80 metres apart in Urban Areas Promote higher densities with shared or combined access Traffic movement slightly more important than land access. serves intramunicipal trips Limited access control Promote higher densities with shared or combined access, or limit to single detached dwelling unit frontage Primary function to collect and distribute traffic from Local Roads to other Collectors and/or Type C Arterials. Permit access to abutting properties, consolidation of driveways where intersection spacing is less than 20 metres Provide access to individual abutting properties. Local Roads are designed to carry low volumes of traffic. All abutting properties Provide access to individual abutting properties for the purpose of loading and access to garages. All abutting properties Page 2 of 6
