Notes: 1. State Roads are not included in this classification as the trafficked lanes are under the care control and management of RMS. Associated facilities (e.g. kerb & gutter, footpath, street furniture etc. which are owned and managed by councils will be included in other asset classes) 2. Classification of a road is based on its function. Absolute assessment against any one of the above criteria alone is to be avoided. 3. The assessment parameters in the above table are to provide guidance only. Assessment of a road should take a holistic view of its function and importance to the local community. 4. Levels of service are not intrinsically linked to the road hierarchy. Levels of service are determined by council following consultation with the local community and may vary across categories.
