Highways of Statewide Significance (HSS) are highways designated by the WSDOT and
approved by the Legislature after they meet specific criteria. Typically, the HSS are statewide principal
arterials and ferry routes that are needed to connect major communities across the state and support the
state’s economy.
The only HSS in the City is SR 16. SR 16 is a full-limited access road which is a principal
arterial for Kitsap County. Two small portionsof it are within the City of Port Orchard. It is a 4 lane road with a
speed limit of 50 and 60 miles per hour. . This is a Class 1 designation in the Access Management Plan. This indicates high

annually.
SR 160 is also referred to as SedgwickRoad and is a primary route to the Southworth Ferry.
It has full access control at its intersection with SR 16 and the remainder of the road is a Class 3. It is a two
lane road with a speed limit of 40 miles per hour. The WSDOT Route Development Plan provides the
following information: . This is a Class 3 designation in the Access Management Plan. This indicates
moderate speeds, moderate trafficvolumes on short trips.
It has a T-3 Classification in the Freight and Goods Transportation System to
indicate that 300,000 to 4,000,000 freight tons are transported over this route
annually.

city, only SR 166 has had a route development study to consider and coordinate improvements. This is
reflected by an upgrade to LOS C, if the improvementsare made. However, WSDOT has not indicated that
there is funding for the recommended SR 166 improvements. It is the City's opinion that SR 166 is not going
to be widened. SR 166 is the historic route along the water and it is not considered feasible to excavate
enough of Ross Point to allow an additionaltwo lanes. The route also goes through the downtown area and
to widen the road will eliminate all on-street parking. Therefore, the LOS table shows a future LOS of F to
reflect that the capacity of this street is not going to substantially improve.
The Level of Service (LOS) for State-owned transportation facilities in an urban area is "D-
mitigated for Highways of State-wide Significance. This is consistent with the City's LOS standard of "D for
roads within the urban area. At this time. WSDOT considers all its highways in this area as LOS D, unless
otherwise specified.
The concurrency requirementof the City does not apply to HSS roads.
The impacts of the land use policy of the city to state roads will be the same as to city
streets. SR 166 is the historic route through the downtown area and that commercial area is almost built out.
As developmentsare proposed, the SEPA process is used to evaluate impacts to the road system and other
aspects of the community. When impacts are noted, the city will usually have a traffic engineer to evaluate
specific impacts to the transportation system. This information is used in the decision making process for
project approval.
