The MTC Overlay is established to enhance the economic and aesthetic appeal and orderly development of properties adjacent to major transportation corridors. Certain arterial streets, parkways and expressways are of critical importance to Durham City and County. Rights-of-way carrying high volumes of traffic are image makers for Durham City and County. They act as entryways for visitors and residents and also serve as an indicator of the quality of life found in the area. Standards are provided to ensure that highways, freeways, and other similar high-volume rights-of-way in this overlay develop with improved traffic efficiency and safety by reducing visual clutter and avoiding inappropriate site design.
