[[File:Road-movement-hierarchy.svg|thumb|Six-stage hierarchy of traffic movement: main movement, transition, distribution, collection, access and termination. At the start, they occur in reverse order, and intermediary stages may be absent. Each stage typically occurs on a corresponding functional road type (e.g. distribution on minor arterials).]]
