Functional Classification Maps
The Functional Classification Maps were
produced by the Office of Technical Services, GIS /
Mapping Section, utilizing functional classification information
stored in ODOT Road Inventory files. All classifications
were established by the ODOT Functional Classification Committee
in conjunction with ODOT District Offices and various local
government entities.
The members of ODOT's Functional Classification Committee are:
Joseph Hausman,
William Ramsey,
Bill Rogers, all from ODOT, Office of Technical Services,
and
Jerry Workman, ODOT, Office of Systems Planning and Program
Management.
All Functional Classification correspondence should be directed
to Jerry Workman for full committee consideration. (Please
review the
Functional Classification change Policies and
Procedures (beginning on Page 6) prior to contacting Jerry Workman.)
Further details regarding the Concepts and Definitions of the
Functional Classification Systems are also available.

The Urban / Urbanized System
a. Serve corridor movements having trip length and travel density characteristics indicative of substantial statewide or interstate travel;
b. Connect all or nearly all urban areas with 50,000 and over population and the majority of urban areas with 25,000 and over population;
c. Provide an integrated network of continuous routes.
*The Rural Interstate highway system constitutes a subsystem of Rural Principal
Arterials and is composed of those routes specifically designated as Interstate highways. All other non-Interstate principal arterials are included in the
subsystem Rural Other Principal Arterials.
a. Connect cities and larger towns (and other major destinations such as resorts capable of attracting travel over long distances) and form an integrated network providing interstate and intercounty service;
b. Spaced at intervals so that all developed areas are within a reasonable distance of an arterial; c. Provide service to corridors
with trip lengths and travel density greater than those served by rural collectors and local roads and with relatively high travel speeds and minimum interference to through movement.
a. Serve primarily intracounty rather than statewide travel; b. Serve more moderate travel speeds and distances than those on arterial routes.
There are two subclasses of Rural Collectors.
(1). Rural Major Collectors (a) Provide service to any county seat, larger towns, and other county destinations such as consolidated schools, parks, or important mining and
agricultural area not served by an arterial; (b) Connect these places with nearby larger towns and cities or with arterial routes; (c) Serve the most important intracounty travel corridors.
(2). Rural Minor Collectors (a) Are spaced at intervals to collect traffic from local roads and bring all developed areas within reasonable distance of a collector;
(b) Provide service to smaller communities not served by a higher class facility; (c) Connect locally important traffic generators with rural hinterlands.
a. Provide access to adjacent land; b. Serve travel over relatively short distances.
a. Serve major activity centers, highest volume corridors, and longest trip demands; b. Carry high proportion of total urban travel on minimum of mileage;
c. Interconnect and provide continuity for major rural corridors to accommodate trips entering and leaving urban area and movements through the urban area;
d. Serve demand for intra-area travel as between the central business district and outlying residential areas.
*The Urban Principal Arterial system is further divided into the following subclasses:(a) Urban Interstate consisting of principal arterials designated as part of the Interstate system;
(b) Urban Other Freeways/Expressways consisting of non-Interstate principal arterials with controlled access; and (c) Urban Other Principal Arterials without controlled access.
a. Interconnect with and augment the principal arterials; b. Serve trips of moderate length at a somewhat lower level of travel mobility than principal arterials;
c. Distribute traffic to smaller geographic areas than those served by principal arterials; d. Provide more land access than principal arterials without penetrating identifiable neighborhoods;
e. Provide urban connections for rural collectors.
a. Serve both land access and traffic circulation in residential, and commercial/industrial areas; b. Penetrate residential neighborhoods;
c. Distribute and channel trips between local streets and arterials
a. Provide direct access to adjacent land; b. Provide access to higher systems; c. Carry no through traffic movement.
