Level 1:Function and Primary Purpose Roads Streets  To carry through traffic  To provide local property access  To collect local traffic Level 2: Role within the Transport Network Arterial Roads Sub Arterial Roads Collector Streets Local Streets

 Through traffic movements across the city  Connect local areas and arterial roads  Carry traffic having a trip end within the local area served  Direct access to properties  Longer distance strategic traffic movements  Connections for through traffic between arterial roads  Direct access to properties  Pedestrian access and local movements take precedence  Primary connection between suburbs/towns and employment, economic,  Roads that facilitate movement across a suburb or from one suburb to  Access to public transport  Local cycle movements education or entertainment centres another  Pedestrian access and local movements supported  Line haul public transport task  Access to public transport  Local cycle movements  Primary freight and dangerous goods routes  Through movement of public transport  Regional cycle movements (off road preferred)  Regional and local cycle movements  Pedestrian movements to be restricted and/or separated from roadway  Pedestrian movements to be separated from roadway  Access to major developments

Level 4: Design  Refer to relevant guidelines and standards including: Austroad Guides, Queensland Streets (1998), Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads manuals, relevant Australian Standards and the Ipswich City Council Planning Scheme Note: *Only permitted in existing or special cases.
