The following words, terms and phrases, when used in this article, shall have the meanings ascribed to them in this section, except where the context clearly indicates a different meaning:

Arterial street means a street designed to move large amounts of traffic as quickly and safely as possible, with access to adjacent property being a clearly secondary function. Land serviced by these streets shall be intentionally restricted in most cases and such streets shall be able to accommodate at least 600 vehicles per hour in each lane.

Collector street means a street to collect locally generated traffic and deliver it to arterial streets, and it is recognized that such streets, just as arterial streets, have only a secondary function of providing access to adjacent property.

Minor street means a street which exists only for the purpose of providing access to property, with the movement of traffic a secondary function.
