Suburban neighbourhoods are sparsely distributed and uniformly residential environments, and are relatively car-dominated. However, local streets must be safe and calm for people to walk, and connector street types are vitally important for people to cycle or take public transport to access everyday amenities. Suburban roads are significant for movement on longer journeys but
must also feature safe crossings to avoid these corridors from functioning as barriers to local movement. Street tree canopies are especially important in suburban areas due to limited other spaces for tree plantings.
