De-correction and suppress uncivil commentary. Yes, Aubrey L. White provides a connection between T.J. Meenach and points north. But it's a narrow, winding road that nobody would actually use as a through connection -- they'd take Northwest or Driscoll.

It's classified as a major collector by the WSDOT. What are your thoughts on this?

Comment from Carnildo
I think you shouldn't be relying on WSDOT for road classification -- they make mistakes from time to time. Spokane County classifies it as "Local" (ie. the lowest importance class), and on-the-ground observations support that.
A quick look at the WSDOT map for Spokane shows five places where they call something a "collector" or "arterial" when it isn't, at least one place where they're missing a collector, and a number of places where I feel they've inflated the classification of the road. There are also a few places where the map is clearly out of date.
To give a specific example where all three errors are present, WSDOT calls Indiana from Belt to Adams a major collector, Adams from Indiana to Northwest a major collector, and Indiana from Adams to Northwest isn't on their map. In actuality, the through route follows Indiana all the way from Belt to Northwest, is a very minor route seeing only a few hundred cars a day, and Adams is simply a residential side street.
