I use it like so:
tertiary - through residential areas: two-lanes, maybe with street
parking but often not, lanes delineated by yellow lines (in lesser
populated areas, often no shoulder).
Through commercial areas: storefronts usually face away from these
two-lane streets - they feel like a bypass, u-turn route or only there
to get to 'parking out back' lots.
Often called 'back-streets' or 'minor arterials'. In my area, they are
often delineated further by 'arterial route' signage.
