https://www.cnu.org/publicsquare/2023/07/17/florida%E2%80%99s-success-context-based-street-classificationFlorida DOT(FDOT) creates a new Context Based Classification System to help update for the missing middle. C4M, C4R are included now and AASHTO who all DOT's go to mentioned it is revolutionary and are going to put this in their manual by the end of the decade for all Urban Planners to use. They also in their recent updated version of the Context Classification system show, that the more dense a town is to become, the more you need walkability, transit options, and not just car centric planning. Also FDOT does recommend using this classification system now than waiting a decade for smaller towns and cities to react. Tampa already unveiled their 30 year plan and is using the FDOT classification system already.
