b) Standard Provides high geometric standards and usually serve long to intermediate trip lengths with high
to medium travelling speeds (80 km/h or higher).
R5/U5 It is usually with partial access control.
The Highway, Primary Road and Arterial fall under this standard.
It is sometimes designed as divided carriageways with partial access control
c) Standard Provides medium geometric standards and serve intermediate trip lengths with medium travelling
speeds (70 km/h or higher)
R4/U4 It is usually with partial access control.
The Primary Road, Secondary Road, Minor Arterial and Major Collector fall under this standard
d) Standard Provides low geometric standard and serves mainly local traffic.
There is partial or no access control
R3/U3 The Secondary Road, Collector or Major Local Streets are within this standard.
The traveling speed is 50 km/h
f) Standard Provides the lowest geometric standards and is applied to road where the volumes of commercial
vehicles are very low in comparison to passenger traffic
R1/U1 The travelling speed is 40 km/h or less

3. ACCESS CONTROL
3.1 Degree of Control
The spacing of at-grade intersections preferably signalized may vary from 0.4
km to 1.0 km.
2. After the completion of the road in the control of accesses to future developments.
- Assessment of the function of the proposed road and the area it traverses
- Calculate the projected average daily traffic (ADT) at the end of the
design life (15 years after completion of the road)
