I have a sample of the area here http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=39.59736&lon=-104.89872&zoom=17.</div><div><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">My difficulty is with the size of the roads vs their utility. Having scanned the mailing lists and the wiki, I have tended to designate them tertiary, but am happy to change them.</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">As background, this area is the
edge of the Denver Technology Center, south of Denver, but this question applies to the whole area, and in fact most modern build on the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains.</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">First example, Running East/West is East Peakview Avenue. This is a typical example of a divided highway in the DTC. The road is wide (approx 12ft per carriageway, 2 lanes in each direction, center divider approx 3feet wide, plus 3rd lane when left turns are available)</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">Second example, Running North/South is South Syracuse Way which
is not a divided highway. The lanes are again 12ft Wide, 2 in each direction plus an additional 12 ft in the center for left turns.</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">Whilst the roads are designed to take huge volumes of traffic, outside of peak hours they probably carry 300-400 vehicles per hour and 100 vehicles per hour or less on the weekend. The roads don't go anywhere and never will.</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style:
normal;">What would be the best mechanism for designation?</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">TIA</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">Mark</div></div></body></html>
