Major roads

Pennsylvania follows the general road naming and road type guidelines of the USA.

Functional Classification reference chart

Use this chart to determine the road type for Pennsylvania roads based on the functional class.

First, find the functional class of the road from the PennDOT Functional Classification County Maps and whether it is a signed, numbered highway in a particular highway system.

Follow the column for the road's highway system down to the row for the road's functional class to find the proper road type for that particular road.

A quick reference guide is shown below the chart.
