The following passage describes the

classification of roads in two countries.

Read the passage and make notes in the

correct format with a title Functional Classification (FC) 1 –An FC 1

facility is any type of surface paved

road. These roads may include

surfaces consisting of bituminous

asphalt and aggregate, hot-mix

asphaltic concrete, porcine cement

concrete or some combination of

these types of improved surface

courses; generally overlaying an

aggregate base course of varying depths.

In some ways it can be said that

structured road networks have existed in

India for almost 5,000 years. The

Mohenjo-Daro urban settlement in the

Indus valley (estimated population

about 35,000) had a rectangular road

grid and a system of major and lesser roads. More recently the Nagpur Plan of

1943 proposed four classes of roads.

National highways are the roads which

would pass through states, and places

having national importance for strategic,

administrative and other purposes. State

highways are the roads which would be

the other main roads of a state. District

roads are the roads which would take

traffic from the main roads to the

interior of the district. According to the

importance, some are considered as

major district roads and the remaining

as other district roads. Village roads are

those which would link the villages to

the road system.

The U.S. DOT‘s Federal Highway

Administration (FHWA) classifies its

Nation‘s urban and rural roadways by

road function. Each function class is

based on the type of service the road

provides to the motoring public, and the designation is used for data and planning

purposes. Design standards are tied to

function class. Each class has a range of

allowable lane widths, shoulder widths,

curve radii, etc. The four major road

function classifications are : Interstates,

Other Arterials, Collectors, and Local

roads. The amount of mobility and land

access offered by these road types

differs greatly.

Interstate System is the highest

classification of roadways in the

United States. These arterial roads

provide the highest level of mobility and

the highest speeds over the longest

uninterrupted distance. Interstates

nationwide usually have posted speeds

between 55 and 75 mi/h. Collectors are

major and minor roads that connect

local roads and streets with arterials.

Collectors provide less mobility than

arterials at lower speeds and for shorter distances. They balance mobility

with land access. The posted speed limit

on collectors is usually between 35 and

55 mi/h. Other Arterials include freeways,

multilane highways, and other important

roadways that supplement the Interstate

System. They connect, as directly as

practicable, the Nation‘s principal

urbanized areas, cities, and industrial

centers. Land access is limited. Posted

speed limits on arterials usually range

between 50 and 70 mi/h.Local roads

provide limited mobility and are the

primary access to residential areas,

businesses, farms, and other local

areas. Local roads, with posted speed

limits usually between 20 and 45 mi/h,

are the majority of roads in the U.S.​
