Scenic Highway / Byway
STR-SCB-020 ArterialScenic Highway / Byway
An Arterial through a low-development, often scenic landscape, where vehicle movement is prioritized and pedestrian, bicycle, and transit demand are minimal.
Typical at: Undeveloped Rural
Suburban is an edge case. Compact, Urban, and Core are unlikely pairings.
#Modal hierarchy
Vehicle, then Bicycle, then Pedestrian, then Transit, then Freight. Whether Freight should be excluded outright rather than simply ranked last is an open call.
#Design notes
This entry follows the same shape as Rural Collector/Farm-to-Market Road: a low-density, low-development-pressure pattern that is the norm where it applies and effectively disappears as density rises.
