Peripheral Ring Road
The Peripheral Ring Road (PRR) is a ring road that runs around Bangalore, Karnataka, India, which is outside of Outer Ring Road, Bangalore, is a 60-kilometre-long road is developed by the Bangalore Development Authority (BDA). The reason for creating the PRR was to decongest the Outer Ring Road which currently acts as a by-pass to the city with more than 10,000 trucks using it. According to BDA's project report, with the immense growth in intra-city traffic, the ORR is under tremendous pressure already. The city has already extended beyond the ORR which  is a key factor in the increasing pressure on ORR. In order to relieve the traffic pressure on the ORR and the major road networks of the city, a peripheral ring road (PRR) of 116 km was planned outside of the ORR. This stretch is planned to not only improve connectivity of areas beyond the ORR, but also ease the congestion on the ORR. The BDA was focussed on the first phase of the project from Hosur Road to Tumakuru Road with a distance of 67 km.
