What are the advantages of arterial street designation?
Arterials are eligible for state and federal funds for improvements such as curbs, gutters and sidewalks. Most of the county’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) funds are oriented to the arterial system. Arterials are first to be plowed during snowstorms, first to be kept open in emergencies, are maintained to a higher standard, and are eligible for amenities such as walkways, pathways and equestrian trails. Non-arterial streets generally lack lane markings like outside edge lines or a centerline. Learn more about arterial classification.
