An arterial road, or arterial thoroughfare, is a high-capacity urban road. The primary function of an arterial road is to deliver traffic from collector roads to freeways

So they are "pre-freeway freeways". Your definition especially reveals there are way too many 'arterials' that should in fact be 'city streets'.

Inappropriate for an urban core where many people are out and about, inappropriate unbuffered from residential neighborhoods (the noise and pollution are horrific and kill the street to humans), inappropriate in their current configuration where you feel you are likely to die if you are going somewhere other than in an automobile or truck. That is not a city street. That is indeed a de facto freeway.
