Typology MAP

About this Map Although the Through Lanes Map controls the number of lanes on the Major Streets, the Typology Map influences many of the other elements that contribute to street width, use, and right-of-way required. Street Typologies classify streets by:

their physical surroundings, and the types of users traveling on them.

This map illustrates the typology of each of Kansas City’s major streets, and the typical sections on the following page include descriptions of the typical context and intent of each typology. The map also shows parks, as connecting parks is the essential function of Parkways.
