The move will make it tough for various agencies to get permission for road cutting
Greater Chennai Corporation is set to include more roads under Bus Route Roads Department to improve the standards of the stretches to carry heavy traffic.
The civic body is planning to do a study of traffic along many of the 40,000 interior roads and identify those that are frequently damaged. Roads that record more passenger car units per hour and high pedestrian movement will also be brought under Bus Route Roads Department.
Roads such as Taylors Road and Harrington Road have already been identified for inclusion in the category of bus route roads. A few roads in Madhavaram have been identified for inclusion in bus routes.

The Union and State governments provided support in several ways to the needy people, but private institutions should also extend help, especially to those requiring medical assistance, said C.P. Rajkumar, Managing Director, Nalam Multispeciality Hospital, here on Saturday. Speaking at a function to honour Inspector General of Police V. Balakrishnan and neurologist S. Meenakshisundaram with C. Palaniappan Memorial Award for their contribution to society and Nalam Kappom medical adoption of Type-1 diabetic children, he said the governments implemented numerous welfare programmes, but the timely help by a private hospital or a doctor in the neighbourhood to the people in need would go a long way in safeguarding their lives.
