Street dogs occupying pedestrians and cycle and bikes being parked on the 2m wide footpath leads to conjunction on footpath. As the yellow color represents residential and blue for noncommercial, this shows us how different building typology was existing on the arterial roads.

The collector roads connect the arterial roads and local streets to their neighborhood. From the pictures it is evident that the collector roads are wide enough, acts as a major transport route. These are the most active streets in the region, with shopfronts and vending activities happening along the street edge. As the right of way is only 6 m, and a lot of on street activities happening makes it difficult for pedestrians to walk along the narrow street.

The Collector Road consists of 41.6 % of the total number of roads within the precinct. They are the second highest number in count. All these collector roads were planned in such a way that they all get connected to Chamunda Flyover, which connects the BRTS station.
