Within the metropolitan area, the great majority of principal arterials are under MnDOT jurisdiction. Principal arterials are typically Interstate highways or other state or US freeways or expressways. Principal arterials also connect to other cities, regions, and states outside of the metropolitan area. Principal arterials are intended to maintain average speeds of 40 mph during peak traffic periods. To maintain mobility and speeds on principal arterials, land access and transportation system connections are limited. There is little to no direct land access from principal arterials. Access is limited to interstate freeways, other Principal Arterials, and A Minor Arterials. Access points are typically grade-separated or controlled with a signal and are spaced approximately one to two miles apart. Within the City of Orono, there is one principal arterial: US Highway 12.
