It is 6 metres (20 ft)* wide in most stretches. The road narrows at the stretches between Edayar street, RG street and Flower Market areas.[2] Green Corridor system is under implementation between Chintamani and Thudiyalur to synchronise traffic signals, as it is one of the most congested stretches in the city.[3] This road connects the city with Saibaba Colony Bus Terminus and the northern suburbs in the Coimbatore Metropolitan Area.

Features and alignment[edit]

The National Highways Authority of India(NHAI) has proposed bypass road from Neelambur on NH47 and will join Mettupalayam Road at Narasimhanaickenpalayam. This would help ease the traffic on the road.[4][5][6][7] It is one of the widely used stretches in the city, with a large number of tourists using the road to reach the tourism destination of Ooty.[8]
