Street Classification System (Map)

The Street Classification System determines the function or “mission” of each street in the City’s street system. Each street is assigned a functional classification based on the type of traffic it is intended to serve – regional, intra-city, or neighborhood.

The type of traffic, combined with the expected traffic volumes, determines whether a street is an arterial, collector, or local street.

The map below shows the Street Functional Classifications as adopted in the Salem Transportation System Plan.
