Local residential streets are the most common street type. They serve as access to the residential lots within areas created by, or bounded by, thoroughfares, arterials, collectors,and primary residential streets and other physical boundaries, e.g. natural streams and railroads. Since the primary function is local vehicular access rather than inter-community circulation, theses roads have low traffic volumes and mostly lightweight vehicular traffic, but they must accommodate the rapid access needs of emergency vehicles.
