§ 29-0.2. Street names and characteristics.

(a)

When the provisions of this Code are intended to address the movement of vehicular traffic, the nomenclature utilized classifies public ways into four (4) basic categories of street or road: 1) interstates (freeways), 2) arterial streets, 3) collector streets, and 4) local streets. Interstates (freeways), arterial streets, and collector streets are identified as such on the Jefferson Parish Thoroughfare Plan.

(b)

When the provisions of this Code are intended to address the physical infrastructure of the public ways, the term "street" is utilized and it encompasses avenues, boulevards, parkways, roads, thoroughfares, alleys, lanes, viaducts, public servitudes and all other public ways or parts thereof, including medians, neutral grounds, roadways, pedestrian islands, roadsides and sidewalks for purposes of vehicular, pedestrian and bicycle travel ways.

The official name ascribed to any public way, including but not limited to such words as "street," "road," "avenue," "boulevard," "parkway," "highway," "lane," "circle," "place," "drive," "circle," "court" or however otherwise designated, in any plat, survey, dedication, ordinance or map, does not necessarily indicate any descriptive or distinctive type of public way that such terms may otherwise invoke through common or customary usage.
