“Street” is a general term used to describe a right-of-way serving as a means of vehicular and pedestrian travel, also furnishing space for sewers, public utilities and shade trees; includes avenues, boulevards, roads, lanes and other ways. The streets are classified by function as follows:

A. “Business streets” are those which are used primarily to provide access to abutting commercial or industrial properties.

B. “Collector streets” are those which carry traffic from minor streets to the major street system of arterial streets and highways, including the principal entrance streets of a residential development and streets for circulation within such a development.

C. “Major streets” or “secondary highways” are streets of considerable continuous alignment served by collector streets and carrying large volumes of traffic from one section of the city to another, either directly or by connecting to freeways or expressways.

D. “Marginal access streets” are minor streets which are parallel with and adjacent to arterial streets and highways and which provide access to abutting properties and protection from through traffic.

E. “Residential streets” are those which are used primarily for access to abutting residential properties.

F. “Thoroughfares” and “primary highways” are those which are used primarily for fast or heavy traffic. (Ord. 152 § 1, 1971; 1978 code § 15.101)
