A proposed functional classification system has been developed to address context and multimodal accommodation of the existing system. The is intended facilitate optimal geometric design solutions while accounting for context, user needs, functions. new communicates improved information designer so that balanced designs can be achieved through documented prioritization roadway users. identifies groups, which include drivers, pedestrians, bicyclists. Fundamental elements each mode are identified, ranges provided according overall network type. correlation results types, users displayed in expanded matrix, allowing development a multimodal, context-based with some degree flexibility. Each matrix cell defines various (drivers, bicyclists, pedestrians) those characteristics balanced.
