Local Access Street

CATEGORY

Roads in the ACT are graded into a hierarchy by traffic volume. From top to bottom: Highway, Arterial, Major Collector, Minor Collector, Local Access Street, Rear Lane.

What is labelled in the Active Travel Infrastructure Practitioner Tool as a Local Access Street is found in the Estate Development Code as one of two types: Access Street A and Access Street B. The expected traffic volume determines the type of street and consequently the design requirements. Access Street A has a traffic volume of 0-300 vehicles per day, and Access Street B 301-1000 vehicles per day.
