What is a "collector road"?
A collector road is a road that connects smaller streets or local roads to major highways or main roads.

These roads typically handle moderate traffic volumes and provide access to areas like residential neighborhoods, commercial zones, or industrial areas. They help manage the flow of traffic between local streets and high-speed roads, ensuring a smooth transition between different types of roadways.
