A road hierarchy is a system for categorizing roads. Road networks worldwide are typically organized according to one or more schemes: Functional classification reflects a road’s intended role, balancing mobility (efficient through movement) and access (reaching properties) by defining a clear hierarchy from arterials (including limited-access roads and controlled-access highways) to collectors and local roads.
