Trails in the Atlanta Trail Network are identified as either “primary” or “secondary.”

Primary trails are considered the backbone of the citywide network and enable cross city travel. Greenways are preferred for the primary network as they have the least interaction with motorists and the most appealing alignments.

Secondary trails are valuable on a local level providing access to neighborhood destinations not necessarily needed for citywide travel. Secondary trails are sometimes on busier streets with more motorist traffic and less appealing settings but serving locally useful destinations.
