15.74.050 Street classification.
A. If a street is dedicated to public use, the street must be classified as provided in subsection B of this section. Classification will be based on the following considerations:
1. The projected volume of traffic to be carried by the street, stated in terms of the number of trips per day;
2. The number of dwelling units to be served by the street may be used as an indicator of the number of trips but is not conclusive;
3. Whenever a subdivision street continues an existing street that used to end outside the subdivision, the classification of the street will be based upon the street in its entirety, both within and outside of the subdivision.
B. The classification of streets must comply with the most current edition of the Pierce County Road Standards. The following are road or right-of-way classifications based on the anticipated average daily traffic (ADT) 10 years hence:
1. Major collector (ADT 2,000+);
2. Minor collector (ADT 400 – 2,000);
3. Access collector (ADT 0 – 400);
4. Cul-de-sac;
5. Private road. [Ord. 378 § 2 (Exh. 1), 1999.]
