EIIensburg,Washington Wayfinding Master Plan <br />System Infrastructure <br />The process used to determine the routes to Ellensburg destinations consisted of identifying two types of roads:Major Routes and Circulator <br />Routes. <br />Major Routes <br />Major routes are the roads that bring most of the traffic into Ellensburg.Based on an analysis of daily traffic counts (AADT =Annual Average <br />Daily Traffic)for all highways with an Interstate,US,or WA/SH designation,most visitor trips should be routed from exits 109 and 106 along <br />Interstate 90 leading to Canyon Road/South Main Street from the south and West University Way from the West.Therefore,all of these roads are <br />designated in the wayfinding plan as Major Routes. <br />Circulator Routes <br />Circulator Routes form an internal connective network of roads that link Major Routes to wayfinding destinations.Circulator Routes <br />also provide access from Major Routes to Destination Routes,the roads that lead to individual destinations.Circulator Routes are <br />characterized by high traffic volumes in urban areas and by being the principal access ways in rural areas.In Ellensburg,Circulator <br />Routes include East University Way/East Vantage Highway,Dolarway Road/Railroad Avenue,East Mountainview Avenue/Kittitas <br />Highway,Umptanum Road,Chestnut Street,Third Avenue,and Fifth Avenue. <br />9
