existing (non-Backbone System) state highways
Does not include county or town roadways
3R Functional Roadway Classifications
Backbone Connector Routes (US 14 - La Crosse to Madison; US 12; STH 26)
ArterialsPrincipal (US 18 – Prairie du Chien to Madison; STH 11/81)Minor (STH 133 – Cassville to Potosi; STH 33 – Portage to Fox Lake)
Collectors Major & Minor (STH 89 -Waterloo to Columbus; STH 188 –
STH 60 to CTH V, south of Merrimac)
Priority order for 3R corridors• 1) Structurally deficient Bridges & Culverts• 2) Connector Backbone Routes• 3) Other Principal Arterials• 4) Any other roadway over 5,000 ADT• 5) All other STH in any size municipality • 6) Minor Arterials• 7) All other Collectors
