and streets are classified into one of the following:

(a) "Highways":

(i) "Freeways": are the highest type of traffic facility. Their func-
tion is to handle most of the through travel and long distance trips.
They are divided highways or four (4) or more lanes with full access
control and grade separation.

(ii) "Expressways": are highways whose function is to serve through
travel and long trips within the County. In design they are multi-lane
divided highways with varying degrees of access control and grade sep-
aration.

(iii) "Major Highways": are highways whose function is to serve
longer trips within the County as the major circulation system. In design,
they range from multi-lane divided highways to multi-lane undivided high-
ways without access controls. This classification indicates that heavy vol-
umes of traffic will be expected and, therefore, a minimum of access
points are desirable for safety and efficient traffic movement.
