Abstract

The evolution of a classification system for the South African rural network is described. An initial attempt to classify a provincial network on the basis of the trip length and trip purpose of traffic, as judged subjectively by local road officials, was tested in a pilot study on traffic counting. The results of the study show that there is a good correlation between average trip length, as calculated from an origin-destination matrix, and various traffic patterns. A final classification system, based on these trip lengths, is recommended.
