Abstract

Many local councils have adopted road hierarchy plans as a complementary tool to zoning controls to provide a coordinated land use/ transport management approach to planning. Road hierarchy plans can provide both a policy framework for considering new development and a rational basis for formulating road construction and maintenance programmes. It is useful to know what a road is supposed to be doing before you decide how much money to spend on it and with what priority.
