    The document discusses various methods of classifying roads. Roads can be classified based on seasons, materials used, load capacity, location and function. The Nagpur Road Plan classified roads as national highways, state highways, major district roads, other district roads and village roads based on location and function. The Third Road Development Plan further modified this to a primary system of expressways and national highways, a secondary system of state highways and major district roads, and a tertiary system of other district roads and village roads. Urban roads are also classified as arterial, sub-arterial, collector and local streets based on traffic movement hierarchy.
