Question

Arrange the following road types in descending order of accessibility.
(P) Arterial Road
(Q) Expressway
(R) Collector Road
(S) Local Street

• A. Q-P-R-S
• B. S-R-P-Q
• C. S-P-R-Q
• D. P-Q-S-R

Hint:

Higher accessibility means more direct access points. Local streets are the most accessible, while expressways provide almost no direct access.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Accessibility refers to how easily adjacent land uses can be reached from a roadway. Roads with more intersections, driveways, and direct access points have higher accessibility. Using this: 1. Local Street (S) → Highest accessibility (direct access to homes, shops).
2. Collector Road (R) → Collects traffic from local streets, moderate accessibility.
3. Arterial Road (P) → Limited direct access, mainly for movement.
4. Expressway (Q) → Controlled access, no direct entry → lowest accessibility. Thus, in descending order of accessibility: \[ S > R > P > Q. \] Final Answer: (B) S-R-P-Q
