For example, the road known as Apache Boulevard in Tempe continues east as Main Street in neighboring Mesa and then as Apache Trail in Apache Junction . Although Broadway Road maintains the same name through Goodyear , Avondale , Phoenix , Tempe, Mesa, and Apache Junction, each town uses a different reference point for address numbers. Three arterial roads run continuously for over 40 miles (Baseline Road, Southern Avenue, and Indian School Road). Four other arterial roads run continuously for over 30 miles (Broadway Road, Camelback Road, McDowell Road, and Bell Road).

806-1101: Is a high-capacity urban road that sits below freeways / motorways on the road hierarchy in terms of traffic flow and speed . The primary function of an arterial road is to deliver traffic from collector roads to freeways or expressways , and between urban centres at the highest level of service possible. Therefore, many arteries are limited-access roads , or feature restrictions on private access. Because of their relatively high accessibility , many major roads face large amounts of land use and urban development, making them significant urban places. In traffic engineering hierarchy, an arterial road delivers traffic between collector roads and freeways . For new arterial roads, intersections are often reduced to increase traffic flow . In California, arterial roads are usually spaced every half mile, and have intersecting collector(s) and streets. The Traffic Engineering Handbook describes "Arterials" as being either principal or minor. Both classes serve to carry longer-distance flows between important centers of activity.

As with other roadway environmental consequences derive from arterial roadways, including air pollution generation, noise pollution and surface runoff of water pollutants. Air pollution generation from arterials can be rather concentrated, since traffic volumes can be relatively high, and traffic operating speeds are often low to moderate. Sound levels can also be considerable due to moderately high traffic volumes characteristic of arterials, and also due to considerable braking and acceleration that often occur on arterials that are heavily signalized.
