Downtown Farmington Downtown Aztec ---PAGE BREAK--- DEVELOPMENT OF ROAD TYPES FMPO final draft 11-25-13 Final revisions by the Advisory Group on November 20, 2013 Title Descriptions Examples Bypass/ Limited Access High volume, wider roads with the highest levels of mobility and vehicle speeds. They can serve as truck routes. Access to nearby properties is discouraged and intended to be handled by other intersecting roads in the network. Roads can have 2-4 lanes with non- traversable medians. Shoulders, buffered on-street facilities, and separated paths are encouraged for accommodating pedestrians, bicyclists, and equestrians. Pinon Hills Blvd Murray Dr. Principal Arterial High volume, higher speed, and wider roads that serve regional travel between cities and through a city. Roads are typically 2-6 lanes with raised medians and turn lanes. Access to nearby properties should still be limited but this road allows for more frequent access than the Bypass/Limited Access. Shoulders, buffered on-street facilities, and separated paths are encouraged for accommodating pedestrians, bicyclists and equestrians. Transit stops may be found. East Main St. NM 516 US 64 Community Arterial Roads are 2-4 lanes with moderate volume and speeds and are primarily meant for travel through a city and to serve commercial areas. Travel lanes are smaller in width to accommodate the presence of medians, bike lanes, buffered sidewalks, on-street parking, and transit stops. Large trucks are still present. These streets support the higher road classifications and are connected with Collectors and fed by Service Ways. The frequency of access should still be restrained to minimize conflicts with bicyclists and pedestrians.

They are used for internal circulation for the industrial sites and provide access to the higher road classifications. They are two lane roads with slower speeds and designed for heavy- weighted traffic. While bicycle and pedestrian use is secondary, accommodations should be focused on safety for these modes.

Bike lanes, wide sidewalks, and transit stops are more prevalent to enhance multi-modal travel. These roads distribute traffic between the higher classifications and local streets. Medians and two-way left turn lanes are common. Driveways directly accessing these roads are discouraged. These roads may also have on- street parking. Downtown areas include additional features and streetscaping that promote multi-modal travel.
