Hiérarchie des voies. La généralisation de la circulation automobile a conduit à spécialiser les voies en fonction de la vitesse d'écoulement des flux qu'elles doivent recevoir. On distingue traditionnellement trois niveaux de voies urbaines : les voies primaires, qui assurent les circulations entre quartiers à l'échelle de toute une agglomération ou même entre agglomérations; les voies secondaires, qui assurent les circulations internes d'un quartier; les voies tertiaires, qui assurent la desserte terminale des habitations ou des activités. 2, record 1, French, - route%20secondaire
