• ROAD – it refers to the entire surface of any
street open to public traffic (UN – VCRT, 1968).
It also includes shoulder and sidewalk (DPWH,
2012). Hence, to DPWH, the term “road” is
synonymous to trafficway. For purposes of
construction, repair, and or maintenance,
roads are classified as:
• National Roads
• Provincial Roads
• City Roads
• Municipal Roads Barangay Roads
• Barangay Roads
• ROAD USERS
• ROADWAY
• RURAL ROADS
• SEMI- TRAILER
• SHOULDER
• SIDEWALK

• The Intersection - in most American State Laws ,
Intersection is defined as the area embraced within
the prolongation or connection of the lateral curb
lines, or, if none, then the lateral boundary lines of
the roadways of two highways which join one
another at,or approximately at, right angles, or the
area within which vehicles traveling upon different
highways joining at any other angle come in
conflict. It is synonymous to crossroads, junctions,
or crossings.
Classification of Intersections According to Number of
Intersecting roads:
• 3 ways Intersection

allotments of parking lots or parking places.

planning, approving, funding, construction and/or maintaining these public
facilities for such movements. This area includes traffic planning committees,
those involved in traffic engineering, and the legislative bodies in the
appropriations of funds.
• All agencies responsible for licensing, approving, restricting, stopping,
prohibiting or controlling the use of these facilities. The agencies involved in
this area are the Land Transportation Office (LTO) and other traffic
enforcement agencies
