Default (Standard Collector)

STR-COL-012 Collector

Default (Standard Collector)

The baseline Collector street. No special land use, freight function, or dedicated mode gives it a name of its own, so it carries the base Collector modal hierarchy and speed rule unmodified.

Typical at: Suburban Compact Urban Core

Rural is an edge case. Undeveloped is an unlikely pairing.

30 mph standard. 35 mph is permitted only with rigid crash-protective separation, a concrete barrier rather than delineator posts, following FHWA's own distinction between the two. Modal hierarchy follows the Collector base order: Pedestrian, then Bicycle, then Transit, then Vehicle, then Freight, the same shape as Local. The higher speed tier loosens the practical design treatment, crossing spacing and separation, without changing the rank order.

#Design notes

This entry is the standard against which every other Collector Typology is defined as an override, the same role Default plays within Local.
