Can functional classification be changed?
You can add new roads to the functionally classified system. In the past, in order to do so, you had to give up roads elsewhere. With the new legislation, this may not be quite an issue, in that population growth will be factored in, making it possible to add roads without giving anything up. However, in some rural areas, this may not be the case because the population has not significantly grown. If you want to reclassify a road, you will need to work with your COG. Substantial and specific data is required for justification on the application.
