DEFINITION OF TERMS •
• • • • • • •
Highway – A general term devoting a public way for purposes of vehicular travel, including the entire area within the right-of-way. Recommended usage: In urban areas – highway or street; in rural areas – highway or road. Street – A highway in urban areas. Road – A highway outside of an urban district. Avenue – Same as street or highway frequently used to designated streets of a certain direction. Boulevard – A broad street of major importance, usually planted with trees or receiving other park treatment. Expressway – A divided arterial highway for through traffic with full or partial control of access and generally with grade separation at intersections. Freeway – An expressway with full control of access. Limited Access Highway – A traffic way in respect to which owners or occupants of abutting property or land and other person have no legal right of access to or from the same, expect at such point only and in such a manner that may be determined by the public authority having jurisdiction over such traffic way.
Super Highway – A highway of major cross sectional and longitudinal dimension, especially designed to accommodate very large traffic movement at high rate of speed and which may also have provisions for rapid transit in a median or side strip. Right-of-way – That land secured and reserved to the public for highway purpose.
CLASSIFICATION OF ROADS
National Roads consist of two classes, namely: a) National Primary Roads form parts of the main trunk line system continuous in extent, which are now declared national roads except those not forming parts of the continuous system. b) National Secondary Roads include all access roads, national, provincial and city roads and streets forming the secondary trunk line system not classified as “primary roads” but shall exclude “feeder roads”.
• • •
National roads shall have a minimum right-of-way of twenty (20) meters. For Roads constructed through unpatented public land a minimum right-ofway of sixty (60) meters must be provided. For Roads constructed through naturally forested areas of aesthetic and/or scientific value, a minimum 120 meters right-of-way shall be reserved.
National Aid Roads – are those provincial and city roads of sufficient importance which may be incorporated eventually into the national systems of highways and are so declared as such by the Minister of Public Highways upon the recommendation of its Regional Directors.
Provincial Roads – are those roads connecting one municipality with another municipality, the terminals of which are the public plazas; all roads extending from a municipality, or from a provincial or national road to a public wharf or railway station. The minimum right-of-way is 15 meters, which may be widened to 20 meters provided that a right-of-way of at least 60 meters shall be reserved for roads constructed through unpatented public land.
City Roads – are those sections of provincial roads which are within the territorial jurisdiction of a city or all roads within a city which are not national roads.
Municipal Roads – are those within a municipality which are not classified as municipal or provincial roads.
TYPES OF STREETS
1. Arterial Streets and Highway – are those which are used primarily for fast or heavy traffic. These are the only streets permitted to intersect with expressways. Right-of-way width is 25-40 meters. 2. Collector streets – are those which carry traffic from minor streets to the major system of arterial streets and highways, including the principal entrance streets for circulation within a development. Right-of-way is 20-25 meters. 3. Minor Streets – are those which are used primarily for access to the abutting properties. Right-of-way is 16-20 meters. 4. Marginal Access Streets – are minor streets which are parallel to and adjacent to arterial streets and highways; and which provide access to abutting properties and protection from through traffic. Right-of-way width is 12 meters.
5. Alleys – are narrow minor streets which are used primarily for vehicular service and access to the rear or the side of abutting properties usually without sidewalks.

Power supply SYSTEM
Pursuant to Section 17 of RA 7160 • Local Government Unit shall endeavor to be self- reliant and shall continue exercising the powers and discharging the duties and functions currently vested upon them. • Find an efficient and effective provision of the basic services and facilities. • If in case, the city or municipality is fully served with electricity it shall focus on future power requirements of the population and proposed expansion of commercial, industrial and other activities. • In planning for the power sector the local government unit may tie up with concerned agencies and the private sector if it has the resource for the development of indigenous sources of energy: hydro, geothermal and coal for rural electrification. • LGU shall also promote the national campaign to save energy among consumers.
Importance of Planning for the Power Sector in Town Planning
Demand for electric energy for the following:
•
Rapid increase of population
•
Expanding commercial activities
• • •
Setting-up much needed industries

COMMUNICATION
FACILITIES
INTRODUCTION The Constitution of the Republic of the Philippines recognizes the role of communication in nation building. Section 24 of Article II states that “The State recognizes the vital role of the communication and information in nation building”. Communication plays an important part in human development which was recognized as one of the goals of the Medium Term Philippine Development Plan. To be able to complement the demand for communication, the local government units are mandated to provide adequate communication facilities as stated in Section 19 of the Local Government Code of 1991 (RA 7160) to wit:
Section 17. Basic Services
a. Local government units shall endeavor to be self reliant and shall continue exercising the powers and discharging the duties and functions currently vested upon them. They shall also discharge the functions and responsibilities of national agencies and offices devolved to them pursuant to this Code.
b. Such basic services and facilities include but are not limited to the following:
1. For a Province: (which are also for cities) xi.) Inter-municipal telecommunication services, subject to national policy guidelines; 2. For a City: 1 Adequate communication and transportation facility. IMPORTANCE:
The inclusion of communication in planning is essential to the functioning and development of modern society. It provides news and information even to remote areas, making the population more aware, informed and updated on the latest development trends in all aspects of living and learning. It does not only improve the standards of living of the citizenry but also promotes their integration into mainstream social and political activity.
For these reasons, the planner and the local government units (LGUs) must keep pace with the growth of the different communication subsectors (i.e. telecommunication, broadcast, postal and print media) because these are the key elements in nation building.

Other services such as telex and facsimile may be offered)
