These roads accommodate the highest traffic volumes and <br /> highest vehicular speeds with Batesville's street network. <br /> INTERCONNECTIVITY <br /> Arterials provide connectivity across large areas of a community or between adjacent communities. As <br /> the largest street type in communities without divided highways or controlled-access highways, arterials <br /> often handle large amounts of vehicular traffic volume and oftentimes at higher speeds than other street <br /> types within the network. <br /> SAFE CROSSINGS <br /> As the largest and highest-volume streets, arterial roadways can be dangerous for non-vehicular users to <br /> cross. Pedestrian and/or bicycle crossings should be designed to MUTCD standards and limited to <br /> controlled access (signalized) intersections or should be protected by user-activated traffic control <br /> signals, such as HAWK signals at mid-block crossings. Appropriate spacing of safe crossings will <br /> decrease the likelihood of pedestrians crossing in undesignated locations. <br /> MULTI-MODAL/COMPLETE STREET APLICABILITY <br /> Arterial roads should include sidewalks on each side of the road and crosswalks at all intersections, <br /> providing safe pedestrian access in accordance Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Bicycle access <br /> along Arterial roads is not encouraged, unless widths allow for protected bicycle lanes (6' bicycle lanes <br /> with a `6 painted buffer and/or a vertical buffer to separate bicycle lanes from vehicular lands), based on <br /> traffic volumes and traffic speeds. Separated multi-use paths are also allowable along Arterial roads. <br />
