Chapter 2: Local Road Administration 24 and barangay roads and highways, based on objective criteria it shall adopt; and to provide or authorize the conversion of roads and highways from one category to another. The issuance and adoption of the Design Guidelines, Criteria and Standards (DGCS) for Public Works and Highways by then MPWH (now DPWH) in 1989 provided a standard classiifcation for national, provincial, city, municipal and barangay roads. The oiffcial functional classiifcations of roads as deifned in the actual and speciifc provisions of EO 113 and the MPWH DGCS are detailed in Table 2.2. These administrative jurisdictions are prior to the implementation of devolution and decentralization of frontline functions to the LGUs. During this time, the National Government still had administrative jurisdiction over local roads. The classiifcation of roads deifned in the MPWH DGCS remains the most current government statute specifying the oiffcial functional and administrative classiifcation of roads and highways in the country (except the funding allocation which have been devolved to LGUs by virtue of RA 7160).
