Mobility and Transport

The Comprehensive Mobility Plan is the primary document that guides the development of mobility infrastructure in the city. As per the 2020 Comprehensive Mobility Plan, over the next 15 years, BBMP plans on building 174 km of cycling tracks and 584 km of footpaths. Recently there has been growing interest among citizens in promoting non-motorized transport, by groups like Bengaluru Moving, that also work on documenting the state of the current infrastructure. Additionally, Bengaluru has a road network of over 14,000 km including about a 100 km of tolled roads.

Motorized Transport

For a general overview on tagging highways in Bengaluru, start with the India/Tags/Highway page, especially the section on Urban Roads. As per Section 2.2 of the Comprehensive Mobility Plan, the 14,000 km road network is classified as:

  • Ring Roads
  • Major Roads
    • Arterial Roads
    • Sub-arterial Roads
    • Other Mobility Corridors
  • Residential Streets

While there is no clearly defined hierarchy of roads, BBMP has designated 80 roads as arterial (923 km) and 285 roads as sub-arterial (1017 km). Section 2.5 of the Comprehensive Mobility Plan contains results from traffic surveys made by DULT. The traffic volume data from these surveys are preferred as a criteria for classifying roads in OpenStreetMap, rather than the official BBMP classification, as traffic density is the guiding principle for road classification on OpenStreetMap. Additional traffic data can be found in other reports published by BBMP and other government bodies, such as in DPRs for proposeds flyovers and underpasses.
