The functional classification system specifies five types of roadways, and in our discussion of the Critical Area Transportation Plan, local streets will not be included. Excluding the local roads leaves ohly three roadways to be inventoried, and they are U.S. 10, U.S. 169 and County Road 12, and U.S. 52. U.S. Highway 10 - U.S. Highway 10 is classified as a principal arterial and serves as a major carrier of both commuter traffic during the week days and tourist traffic on weekends. Through the City of Ramsey, Highway 10 lacks grade separation or controlled intersections. In addition, there are only a few locations where sexy-ice roads have been provided; thus, property owners have direct access to the highway. U.S. Highway 52 - Like U.S. Highway 10, U.S. Highway 52 carries both heavy commuter and tourist traffic. The Highway has been designated an intermediate arterial and provides the only crossing of the Mississippi River north of Interstate 694. The narrow, bridge and low functional design of Ferry Street in Anoka, creates extremely heavy congestion in Anoka which backs up into Champlin. The traffic congestion problems are intensified with intersections and driveways in close proximity to the bridge. U.S. Highway 169 and County Road 12 Although we have two separate roadways controlled by separate governmental jurisdictions, U.S. 169 and County Road 51
