  Arterial road - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Arterial roads can originate in different ways: some were main rural roads that have been upgraded with the transformation of countryside into urban residential use; others were planned along with the suburban layout and built especially for that purpose.
The flow of an arterial road usually consists of large, signalled intersections (or traffic circles) with other arterial and many collector roads, and smaller intersections which have stop signs only for the smaller road.
Speed limits are typically between 30 and 50 mph (50 to 80 km/h) on arterial roads, depending on the degree of development and frequency of local access, intersections and pedestrians.

 Artery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Arteries are muscular blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart.
Arterial pressure varies between the peak pressure during heart contraction, called the systolic pressure, and the minimum, or diastolic pressure between contractions, when the heart rests between cycles.
To withstand and adapt to the pressures within, arteries are surrounded by varying thicknesses of smooth muscle which have extensive elastic and inelastic connective tissues.

 Road - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Roads situated in cities are often, but not always, called streets or alleys; this reflects the historical fact that when they were first named there were more likely to be unmade roads in open country and paved roads in urban areas.
Road building and maintenance is one of the few areas of economic activity (compare military spending) that remain dominated by the public sector (though often through private contractors).
Roads (except those on private property not accessible to the general public) are typically paid for by taxes (often raised through levies on fuel), though some public roads are funded by tolls.

 Works on the Luqa-Qormi arterial road nearing completion
This is the fourth stretch of arterial roads being financed under this protocol.
Roads Minister Jesmond Mugliett said that the works on this stretch of road were probably the most challenging of the whole 16 km of the Italian protocol project.
He said that the reconstruction of the Luqa and Qormi roads will eliminate the problems that were always associated with the road and add to the safety according to the latest road design standards.

 FHWA Highway Functional Classification System: FHWA Guidelines Section II-1 - Statewide4 Planning - Planning - HEP - ...
This system of streets and highways is the urban principal arterial system and should serve the major centers of activity of a metropolitan area, the highest traffic volume corridors, and the longest trip desires; and should carry a high proportion of the total urban area travel on a minimum of mileage.
However, there may be roads on small islands or in other areas that are isolated from the remaining parts of the State or Commonwealth, and none of these roads may meet the criteria for classification as arterial because of the absence of long-distance, through trips.
As a guide the rural principal arterial system may be considered to "serve" an urban area if the system either penetrates the urban boundary, or comes within 10 miles of the center of the place and is within 20 minutes travel time (offpeak periods) of the center of the place via a minor arterial highway.

 Road Maintenance Cost
This is a simple linear formula that calculates road maintenance costs based on the type of road, its length, and the costs of specific maintenance tasks.
In this example, there are three different types of road (arterial, collector, and local) and three different types of maintenance cost (general maintenance, snow and ice removal, and street cleaning).
Proposed roads will typically be part of a project proposal, and CommunityViz users can either import engineering drawings or sketch in their own roads.

 Myth: Freeways are safer than arterial roads
Freeways are safer than ordinary arterial roads, they argue, because they have a lower crash rate per vehicle kilometre.
Victoria's road toll has fluctuated between 350 and 400 a year since 1992, with no significant trend downward, despite all the freeway-building that has occurred in that period.
A freeway might be safer than an arterial road if it carried the same amount of traffic, but of course the whole point of freeways is that they increase the amount of traffic - so any inherent safety benefits are cancelled out by growth in traffic volumes.

 Arterial Highway System in Virginia
The Arterial Highway System in Virginia is a 1,855-mile-long system of intra-state highways, first established in 1964, designed to supplement and augment the 1,128-mile-long Interstate Highway System in Virginia.
When the Arterial system was begun in 1964, the target for completion of financing of the system was 1975, and the national Interstate highway system was projected for completion of financing in 1972.
The Arterial highways interconnect with the Interstate highway system, and the Arterials provide modern 4-lane highway service to many towns and cities in the state that are not directly served by the Interstate system, connecting them to each other, and to the towns and cities on the Interstate system.

 The Ring Road (Douglas Section) - Frequently asked questions - Queensland Department of Main Roads
The decision to upgrade a two-lane road to a four-lane road is based mainly on traffic volumes and the level of congestion.
The initial traffic estimates for the Douglas Arterial were not high enough to warrant the construction of a four-lane road, given other competing priorities on both the federally-funded National Highway and state-controlled roads.
When the road is extended beyond Upper Ross River Road, with Sections 2 and 3 of the Ring Road, there will be a need for two eastbound (towards Douglas) lanes on the bridge, one for through traffic and one servicing the entry ramp from Upper Ross River Road.
