ARTERIAL ROAD	Well maintained and widely used roads which are major connectors for national highways or state highways, major centres, key towns, or have major tourist importance or which main function is to form the principal avenue of communication for metropolitan traffic movements.
SUB-ARTERIAL ROAD	Acts as connector between highways and/or arterial roads, or as an alternative for arterial roads, or a principal avenue for massive traffic movements.
COLLECTOR ROAD	Provides for traffic movement between sub-arterial and local roads or to distribute traffic to local street systems.
LOCAL ROAD	Local area roads, often in residential areas. Includes service roads that may share the same name as higher order roads.
ACCESS ROAD	Road designed to provide access to the rear of, into or within a property but may not necessarily be part of the public road network. Would be applied to urban service lanes, driveways or and tracks.
VEHICLE TRACK	Unimproved roads which are generally restricted to a single lane with occasional passing opportunities. These roads are influenced by seasonal and weather conditions restricting access to particular vehicle types.
BUSWAY	A road which has been dedicated as a rapid bus-only transit way. This does not include roads which have bus-only lanes.
FERRY	A route which requires a ferry to traverse a body of water. These can be both passenger and vehicular transport.
FOOTPATH	Features that are intended for use of pedestrians.
CYCLEPATH	Features that are intended for bicycle transportation.

Subtype

Domain Values	Description
ROAD	Default value. Road with ability to be addressed if required. Would include emergency crossovers.
ROUNDABOUT	Road segment part of an intersection designed to allow smooth integration but also slow traffic. It must be circular or elliptical in design, have one-way flow, and would generally not have addresses on it.
RAMP	An access ramp to or from one road to another, to allow smooth integration of traffic. Travel flow is in one direction only, Ramps are always sealed and mostly have a single lane.
TUNNEL	An underground passage utilised by vehicular traffic to travel between point a and b quickly.
FIRE TRAIL	Primarily utilised by management vehicles and emergency services. May be open to access by the public.
BRIDGE	Structure erected over a depression or obstacle to carry traffic.
FERRY	The feature represents a ferry route.
PATHWAY	Default value for Hierarchies of FOOTPATH or CYCLEPATH. Classification of a FOOTPATH or CYCLEPATH Hierarchy that is not classified as any of the other subtypes (e.g. BRIDGE or TUNNEL)
