Arterial road
Urban Design Guidelines for Victoria, published by the State of Victoria (Australia) in 2016, defines an arterial road as: ‘The principal routes for the movement of people and goods within a road network. They connect major regions, centres of population, major transport terminals and provide principal links across and around cities. Arterial roads are divided into primary and secondary arterial roads.’
