Classificação funcional de vias urbanas - estudo de caso: Campina Grande-PB.

Abstract

In this study we present a methodology which makes possible a functional classification of urban arteries. This methodology takes into account factors such as the width and the length of the arteries, the operating speed, the number of intersections, the edges of the arteries and the control of access at the intersections in view of the aforesaid. Thus there arises a satisfactory result for the funcional classification. The concepts and techniques which the methodology developed here consists of were applied to the city of Campina Grande, state of Paraíba, Brazil. The research project shows the results obtained in its general conclusions.
