This chapter identifies how design elements may be combined to produce a thoroughfare in urban areas with traditional characteristics (see Chapter 11 for determining cross-sections for vehicle mobility priority thoroughfares). This chapter includes tables of common cross-sectional design elements for thoroughfare types in each context zone, and provides design examples under various situations. The variation in design criteria are presented by functional classification (arterial versus collector), context zone (C-3 through C-5/6), thoroughfare type (Boulevard, Avenue, and Street), and whether the thoroughfare serves a predominantly residential or commercial area with fronting ground floor retail.
