§ 25-343. Roadways.

Roadways define how parish residents and business owners access their properties while the design and cross section of a particular street help to classify it. Street classifications generally consist of one (1) of the four (4) categories listed below: Note: Urban Planning and Design Criteria - Second Edition, Joseph DeChaiara and Lee Koppleman, 1975.

•  Freeways - providing regional and metropolitan connections with limited access, no traffic signals, and grade separated interchanges;

•  Arterials - providing cross-town or neighborhood to neighborhood connections with traffic controlled intersections, channeled turning lanes and little to no on-street parking;

•  Collectors - providing intra-neighborhood connections with sign controlled intersections and limited on-street parking;

•  Local - providing direct access to adjacent land uses or parcels for local traffic.

The parish classifies its roadways into six (6) categories which are identified and described in the Jefferson Parish Thoroughfare Plan and are defined in Chapter 40, Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance, of the Jefferson Parish Code of Ordinances.
