Character of Collector Road

Note. The graphic shows the typology and character of collector roads. From “Understanding the City,” (Unpublished portfolio for Master of Planning) by B. Akhil Vardhan, 2021, CEPT University. Copyright 2021 by B. Akhil Vardhan.

Light posts and cattle grazing were observed on the footpath acting as an obstruction in collector streets. Even though they are facilitated with footpaths, they changed to a dump yard/cattle yard and the same things were observed on the local streets too.

The Local Streets consist of 51.1 % of the total number of roads within the precinct with a Right of Weight (ROW) ranging from 4 to 2m. They are the major connectivity to all the residential blocks and Used for Inter-neighborhood movement. Although the roads connect residents to their homes, there are no further connections between the streets. The dead ends make these streets inefficient to access.
