Chapter 2: Local Road Administration 27 Barangay Roads cont. (access roads to subdivision are not barangay roads), and which act as a feeder from farm-to-market roads, and are not otherwise classified as national, provincial, city, or municipal roads. Barangay roads must have the following: Road right-of-way: 10.00m minimum Width of traveled way: 4.00 minimum Allowable grade: 10% maximum The authority of LGUs to develop and manage the local road network derives from Republic Act No. 7160 (RA 7160), otherwise known as the Local Government Code of 1991. Sections 17 (b) (1), (2), (3) and (4) of RA 7160 mandates all LGUs to fund, provide and manage frontline basic services and facilities, which include local roads among others. 2. Other functional classification of local roads There is a wide spectrum of development assistance towards local roads financed and implemented by the National Government through its sectoral agencies and Official Development Assistance (ODAs). Local roads are also often classified in accordance to the development objectives by the respective implementing agency. However, such roads are officially still classified as local roads and either as provincial, city, municipal or barangay, depending on which LGUs has administrative jurisdiction thereof.
