heal.abstract	The current paper aims at creating a methodological framework for re-organizing the main road network hierarchy of a metropolitan city. It proposes a compact method for formulating an integrated functional classification that takes into consideration all individual modes of transport as well as the urban dimension of the city. This method classifies the road network into 6 categories based on position in the network, their topology, their connectivity, their urban characteristics and the existence of bus lines or cycling routes along with their current classification. The study area of the research is the city of Thessaloniki in Greece. The implementation of the proposed methodology may benefit the city of Thessaloniki in several ways. Moreover, the aforementioned methodological approach constitutes a planning tool that provides priority sustainable modes rather automobiles. Finally, it could be applied to other study areas as well, acting as guidelines for road hierarchy re-organization.	en
