Local Road Management Manual 60 local road provides the highest degree of mobility but the lowest level of accessibility. The main function of an arterial local road is to facilitate the fastest movement of people and goods between land uses. The length of trip for arterial local roads is expected to be long but attained with the highest travel speed; b. Collector Roads. A local road may be classified as a collector local road if it serves as a transition road from an arterial road that provides the highest mobility to an access road that provides the greatest land access. A collector local road provides a less highly developed level of service at a lower speed for shorter distances by collecting traffic from access roads and connecting them with arterial local roads; and c. Access Roads. These are local roads that provide direct access to land with little or no through traffic movement. These consist of all roads not defined as arterial or collector local roads. An access road provides the highest accessibility but the lowest level of mobility. The length of trip of an access road is expected to be short but accomplished with the lowest travel speed. 3.2 Road Hierarchy under the Provincial Development and Physical Framework Plan The Provincial Development and Physical Framework Plan (PDPFP) is the comprehensive development and land use plan of the provinces to promote spatial and sectoral development to attain its provincial vision. The National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) has since issued a guideline for the preparation and development of the PDPFP. Part of the PDPFP Guidelines provides the configuration of the transport network, which is not only applicable to provinces but also to other levels of local government. The transport networks describe access routes and facilities; and indicate how these relate to the location of settlements, resources, and production activities. A local road network can be
