Links and Nearby Areas 
Yemalur Main Road has links to several locations.

Marathahalli 
Marathahalli lies to the East of Yemalur Main Road. 500 metres into the road, there is a kuccha road or walkway to go to Marathahalli market. You cannot drive through this path, only walk or cycle.

Yemalur Village 
Yemalur Main Road gets its name from being the road that takes you from HAL Old Airport Road to Yemalur Village.

Wind Tunnel Road
The NAL Wind Tunnel Road begins where Yemalur Main Road ends. It provides a link between Yemalur and Bellandur to Murugesh Palya, Old Airport Road.

Bellandur Lake Road 
A wide turning on Yemalur Main Road will take you straight to Bellandur Lake Road. This lake is commonly known as Snowfall Lake. This is because the pollution in the lake creates a stinky, white foam. This foam has even caught fire a few times.

Bellandur 
The Bellandur Lake Road starting in Yemalur is the way towards Bellandur. This will take you the Bellandur Main Road, which eventually leads out to the Outer Ring Road.

HAL Flight Testing Centre 
The HAL Flight Testing Centre or HAL Airport runs adjacent to the Yemalur Main Road. Residents of this road are prone to hearing the loud noise created by the aircrafts while they take off and land. The noise has increased as of December 2020 because the Flight Testing Centre was made an airport for chartered aircrafts.

Kempapura 
Kempapura is the area between the end of Yemalur Main Road and the beginning of Wind Tunnel Road.

Ambedkar Nagar
Ambedkar Nagar falls directly after Kempapura towards the direction of the East.

Prominent problems
One of the main problems in homes and workplaces in and around Yemalur Main Road include the stench which comes from Bellandur Lake. The foam is another issue which causes major grievance to the residents in the area. This is accompanied with the flooding of several homes in Yemalur Village and neighbouring areas by Bellandur Lake. This often used to happen after heavy rains.

Another problem that residents of Yemalur Main Road and Yemalur Village have is the road problem. The narrow connecting street between Yemalur Main Road and Wind Tunnel Road is a 300 metre stretch which is terrible quality and has potholes all over it. This road is the official property of HAL Bengaluru, so the fixing of potholes is the responsibility of HAL. Due to lack of funds, this road has not been repaired.

Upcoming Projects
Hatha Coco Nest is an upcoming apartment building in the Yemalur Main Road area. Possession of flats in this apartment will begin in June 2021. Other recent constructions in the area include Sai Smaran Sai Garden, Prestige Kew Gardens, Rohan Jharoka II Apartments, R.S. Green View Apartments and Sai Johith Homes.
