Chapter V Traffic and Transportation
Chapter V, Traffic and Transportation, is a strategic transport planning chapter for the Chennai Metropolitan Area that reviews travel demand and proposals for roads, buses, suburban rail, metro rail and monorail. The issuing department, government order number and publication date are not stated in the supplied chapter, and it does not identify individual properties or impose parcel level requirements.
What the chapter covers
Chapter V, Traffic and Transportation, explains that population growth in the Chennai Metropolitan Area has increased pressure on transport infrastructure. It calls for integrated, long term planning of roads, public transport and suburban rail as part of the wider urban planning process.
The chapter draws on earlier transport studies, including the Comprehensive Traffic and Transportation Study completed in 1995 and updated in 2004. Schemes from that study were included in the Chennai Metropolitan Development Plan.
Who may be affected
Chapter V, Traffic and Transportation, is relevant to residents, commuters, transport agencies, infrastructure planners and property professionals interested in how transport capacity and major corridors were planned across the Chennai Metropolitan Area. The supplied text does not identify affected survey numbers, acquisition boundaries, building restrictions or changes in land use. A property buyer therefore cannot use this chapter alone to determine whether a specific site is directly affected.
Key planning provisions and projections
- Three travel scenarios compare the future shares of private transport, public transport, road transport and rail transport.
- Scenario 2 was selected. It assumes that public transport will take a growing share of trips and that rail will take a larger share within public transport.
- Under Scenario 2, projected public transport trips reach 145.32 lakh a day in 2026, including 58.13 lakh by rail and 87.19 lakh by road.
- The chapter states that bus trips would become nearly 2.8 times the 2004 volume by 2026, while rail passenger volume would become nearly 11 times the 2004 volume.
Major transit proposals discussed
- A detailed project report prepared by Delhi Metro Rail Corporation and RITES in October 2007 considered two Chennai metro corridors.
- Corridor 1 runs between the airport and Tiruvottiyur through locations including Guindy, Anna Salai, Central Station and Broadway.
- Corridor 2 follows Poonamallee High Road, EVR Periyar Salai and Rajaji Road, covering Koyambedu, Anna Nagar, Kilpauk, Egmore, Central, Fort and Beach.
- Together, the two metro corridors total 46.504 kilometres and 37 stations, with underground and elevated sections.
- A separate hybrid monorail proposal by Metrail India Private Limited covered 25 kilometres, but the chapter says it had not been implemented because the same corridors were later considered for metro rail.

No. Chapter V, Traffic and Transportation, describes strategic corridors and transport proposals but does not provide property boundaries, survey numbers or acquisition details.
Does the chapter change the land use of any property?
The supplied chapter does not state any change of land use. It focuses on travel demand, public transport shares and major transport projects.
Which future transport scenario was selected?
Scenario 2 was selected. It assumes an increasing share for public transport and a larger rail share within public transport.
Was the proposed hybrid monorail implemented?
The chapter says the hybrid monorail had not been implemented because the same corridors were subsequently considered for metro rail.
