less than 0.1 miles 0 points 0.1 to 0.5 miles 1 point 0.6 to 0.9 miles 2 points 1.0 to 3.0 miles 3 points over 3.0 miles 4 points Spacing: The spacing is the distance to the nearest parallel street of similar classification. The greater the spacing, the higher the rating given. The ranges used to group streets into rating categories are based on AASHTO standards of mileage distribution of urban street and roadway systems, adjusted somewhat to fit the size and scale of Eugene. Spacing Rating less than 0.1 mile from street of similar 0 points classification 0.1 to 0.3 miles 1 point 0.4 to 0.6 miles 2 points 0.7 to 1.3 miles 3 points greater than 1.3 miles 4 points Connectivity: This criterion reflects the degree to which each street connects with other major streets, with the "outside world" (e.g. other cities and the rest of the state), with other parts of the city and the metropolitan area, and with major traffic generators or key destinations within the area. An example of a high connectivity street would be a state highway that extends into Eugene and provides major access to downtown, the University, a regional shopping center, etc. An example of a low connectivity street would be a purely local residential street. The numerical rating for this criterion is based primarily on the extent to which each street segment connects with other arterial and collector streets, as follows: Connectivity Rating No connections to collectors or arterials 0 points Connects with two collectors, or with only 1 point one collector if serving larger neighborhood Connects with two minor arterials, or 2 points completes a significant collector loop Connects with three or more minor 3 points arterials Connects with two or more major arterials 4 points
