Benchmarks Goal
• The present situation in Chennai will only continue to worsen if nothing is done. Do
minimum (considering the committed schemes like Metro Rail, MRTS, commuter rail,
Outer Ring Road, elevated freight corridor, bypass) forecasts also show low network
speeds in 2026 (inside core area) - a really serious and unsustainable situation
CONCLUSION
• The city has indeed been, slowly strangling itself because of the unrestrained use
of personalized modes of transport, over-crowding of public transport and its
inability to respond to the challenges of ever-increasing traffic. In the light of
persistent and vexatious transport problems, CMDA has commissioned this
Comprehensive Traffic and Transportation Study during the year 2008.
• Improvement in the quality of urban life can be achieved by providing safe and
convenient means of facilities for the pedestrians and cyclists alike. This is also
being stressed in the National Urban Transport Policy. Accordingly, pedestrian and
cyclist improvement measures have been addressed.
