[[File:Industrial_Collector_Cross_Section.png|thumb|LID options for the industrial collector road]]
The function of industrial collectors is to provide efficient traffic flow, accomodation for large transport vehicles and access to industry and other employment land areas. These roads are typically four to five lanes and have wide boulevards. Other characteristics include:
*High profile industry is often located along industrial collectors and a high quality corporate landscape treatment is expected
*To avoid interference with truck movements landscaping near roads should be low and trees should be high branching or setback from the roadway
===Typical LID opportunities===
'''Within the roadway:'''
*Due to high traffic and heavy vehicles, LID options within the roadway are limited. Prefabricated sediment traps and perforated pipe with proper pretreatment are potential options.
'''Within the boulevard:'''
*Broad enhanced grass swales with perforated pipe can take advantage of wide boulevard spaces
*Any landscape based solutions must consider the landscaping expectations of adjacent properties both
with respect to aesthetics and maintenance. Some areas will have an expectation for a simple turf lawn
frontage that can be easily incorporated into their maintenance, while other higher profile industrial
areas will want distinctive signature landscapes with decorative plantings and shrubs.
