trips from outside the city along TH 5, traveling to the north to TH 7, as well as locally
generated traffic along its route

added to the collector system since the 2030 Comprehensive

The ultimate roadway system is based upon the functional classification presented above. It
reflects full development of the city according to the land use plan and socioeconomic
forecasts presented earlier. The roadway cross-section identified for each classification
