Placeholder for the Commonway System's real introduction: what the system is, who it is for, and how it relates to NACTO, Complete Streets, and Strong Towns.
Every pattern sits inside one of four Functional Classifications: Local, Collector, Arterial, or Freeway, plus a fifth cross-cutting set for Intersections and Crossings. Within a classification, patterns are grouped by purpose-based Street Typology.
Patterns exist at one of five scales: Network, Corridor, Segment or Intersection, Facility, and Element. A pattern's ID encodes its scale and context, for example LOC-BBG-12.
