2.5 Street Classification

Figure 2-2 depicts the streets in Artesia and how they are classified into the following categories per LA County’s definitions: primary arterial, secondary arterial, and minor streets. Regional access to Artesia is provided by CA SR-91 and Interstate 605. Local access to major destinations throughout the City is provided by the primary arterial roadways including Pioneer Boulevard, Artesia Boulevard, South Street, and Norwalk Boulevard. The remaining secondary and minor streets provide access to residential, school, park, and other smaller destinations. Knowing that the primary arterial roadways within the City provide access to important local destinations underscores the need for active transportation facilities that safely and comfortably accommodate non-motorized form of travel along these multi-lane, high volume, car-oriented corridors.

The City’s roadways are analysed further in the recommendations chapter to determine recommendations that are feasible within the streets’ rightof-ways and that address the community’s desires.
