Transportation Planning
Functional Classification of Streets. The classification of city streets shall be generally defined as follows:
- Primary Arterial Streets. Primary arterial streets provide for high-moderate-volume, moderate-speed traffic movement between and through major activity centers. Access to abutting property is subordinate to traffic flow and is subject to necessary control of entrances and exits.
- Secondary Arterial Streets. Secondary arterial streets augment and feed the primary arterial system and are intended for moderate-volume, moderate-speed traffic movement. Access to abutting property is partially controlled.
- Primary Collector/Commercial Streets. Primary collector streets collect and distribute traffic between arterial streets and residential collector or residential streets and are intended for short-length trips while also providing access to abutting properties. Commercial streets serve areas predominately zoned for commercial or industrial uses. The City of Ozark may require 3 lanes as required to serve intended or future developments.
- Residential Collector. Residential collector streets are designed to collect and distribute traffic between residential streets and collector or arterial streets. Residential collector streets are intended for low-speed, low-volume traffic movement and for short-length trips.
- Residential Streets. Residential streets are designed to provide direct access to abutting property. Residential streets are intended for low-speed, low-volume traffic movement and for short-length trips.
- Downtown Local, Provides direct access to abutting property. Downtown local streets are intended for low-speed, low-volume traffic movement and for short-length trips. The design of downtown local streets varies depending on the character and intensity of traffic generated by adjacent land development as well as the existing right of way and significant buildings and the City of Ozark’s Design Standards.

These traffic impact studies examine the impacts of background growth and several proposed developments along the major corridors in Ozark, Mo.
- Ozark North Traffic Analysis - Final Version

- !2022 0113 South Traffic Analysis
South Street Commercial Corridor Traffic Study
The traffic study will analyze recent developments and planned improvements along the South Street corridor in Ozark, MO. The study is intended to be used as a planning tool to identify proposed transportation improvement projects and consider the associated impacts of developments and other infrastructure improvements to the existing transportation network. In addition to the study area, the analysis will include the impacts of the improvements and traffic patterns associated with the City of Ozark Major Thoroughfare Plan. The study area shown includes six (6) intersections that will analyzed to help guide future decision-making with data-driven solutions.
Central Corridor Traffic Study
The traffic study will analyze recent developments and planned improvements along the Central Corridor (McCracken, Jackson Street, and 3rd Street) in Ozark, MO. The study is intended to be used as a planning tool to identify proposed transportation improvement projects and consider the associated impacts of developments and other infrastructure improvements to the existing transportation network. In addition to the study area, the analysis will include the impacts of the improvements and traffic patterns associated with the City of Ozark Major Thoroughfare Plan. The study area shown includes eight (8) intersections that will analyzed to help guide future decision-making with data-driven solutions.
Mill Bridge Closure / Transportation Study - Project Update:
- For this study, the traffic specialists recommended capturing data during peak usage from Thursday until Sunday (8/27 -8/30)
- The goal was to capture traffic count data while school was in session to better understand the importance of the mill bridge during peak traffic flows.
- We have obtained some amazing data and aerial footage demonstrating how our transportation network functions when this critical piece of infrastructure is out of service.
- The two links below are powerful observations of just how important the Mill Bridge is to our community
- Additional closures later this fall will be necessary to conduct fracture-critical testing. Because of the age of this bridge, this river crossing will undergo more frequent structural analysis. We will provide those dates once MoDOT's consultant has been selected. Additionally, we will attempt to work with the consultant to select dates that limit the negative impacts on our traffic flow.
