Mobility corridor
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A mobility corridor, according to the United States Department of Defense Dictionary of Military and Associated Terms, is "an area where a force will be canalized due to terrain restrictions. It allows military forces to capitalize on the principles of mass and speed and is therefore relatively free of obstacles."
In civilian usage, a mobility corridor is a principle high-capacity access route between two areas. The Maine Department of Transportation defines it as "a non-compact arterial that has a posted speed limit of 40 mph or more and is: part of an arterial corridor between urban compact areas or service centers with an average annual daily traffic of at least 5,000 vehicles per day for at least 50% of it's length; or is part of a retrograde arterial corridor located between mobility arterials."
