Road connecting Panapakkam to Pudupettai, Thorapadi was newly laid in August, 2025 and is in good condition. Village road connecting Panapakkam with nearby Kanisapakkam was laid somewhere in 2018/19 and is now in bad shape. Panapakkam to Varinjipakkam road is also in good shape. The one connecting Panapakkam-VKT NH road is somehow better with very few potholes. Most of the streets have cement road facility as well.{{clarify|date=January 2020}} Major transportation consists of private vehicles, and a minibus service to [[Panruti]] operates throughout the day.
