6. LaSalle Boulevard/Falconbridge Highway Intersection capacity calculations were completed for the Lasalle Boulevard / Falconbridge intersection for existing and future traffic conditions. Results of the analysis indicated that the current lane configuration has sufficient capacity to accommodate anticipate traffic volumes with and without the extension of Maley Drive. However, operational problems are currently being experienced at this intersection due to inadequate turning radii. Therefore, it is recommended that left turn lane improvements and a right turn lane southbound along Falconbridge Highway be constructed.

10. ROAD DESIGNATIONS 10.1. Existing Road Classification The roads within Greater Sudbury are classified based on function. Road classifications along with road right-of-way widths are identified in previous Official Plans and Secondary Plans for the former municipalities. Illustrated on Figure 10.1.1 is the current road classifications for Greater Sudbury extracted from the Secondary Plan documents prepared for the former municipalities. Provincial highways have been identified separately from the Municipal Road system as they are under the Provincial jurisdiction. Figure 10.1.2 illustrates current road right-of-way widths. Greater Sudbury currently has five road classifications. These include three tiers of arterial roads, i.e., primary, secondary and tertiary. Road classification criteria for arterial roads, collector roads and local roads are summarized in Table 10.1.1. The criteria are based on three main elements; the function of the road and its role in facilitating travel between points of origin and destination (roadway service function), land access, and traffic flow characteristics. Of the 3500-lane kilometres of roads within Greater Sudbury, approximately 50% are designated as local roads. Of the remaining 50%, roughly half are designated as arterial roads and the other half are designated as collector roads. Under the existing classification system, primary arterial roads connect Greater Sudbury with other major centers outside of Greater Sudbury and/or provide inter-connection between communities within Greater Sudbury. Their function is to facilitate the longer distance movement of people or goods. Arterial roads are expected to have uninterrupted traffic flow characteristics which is typically facilitated by limited or restricted land access. In accordance with existing policies, access is limited to intersections with other arterial roads, intersections with collector roads and driveways to major regional activity centers. Secondary arterial roads provide a connection between two primary arterial roads; connect two or more communities or major activity centers within Greater Sudbury. Access from adjacent property is strictly regulated and kept to a minimum. CITY OF GREATER SUDBURY OFFICIAL PLAN BACKGROUND REPORT September 2005 Page 96
