The first two are quite misleading , but is the third parallel road! that is OMR.

The roads starting from left are:

1.ECR (East Coast Road
2. Buckingam Canal
3.OMR (Old Mahabalipuram Road)

Below is the map of old mahabalipuram road from Google Maps:

OMR stretches over a distance of 20.1 km from Madhya Kailash to Siruseri which was built as part of Phase I and Phase 2 which is under construction covers a distance of 26.8 km from Siruseri to Poonjeri where it joins East Coast Road, That makes OMR almost a 50 km long highway!

Bus stops @ OMR

                                        OMR is almost a straight highway, taking a bus ride can be smooth except at few junctions like Tidel park and Shollinganallur.Though MTC offers nearly 400 trips a day, buses are often crowded.The hot sun adds to the uneasiness.There are a few AC buses though mostly taken by IT professionals working in software companies situated along the IT corridor.                                         To take these bus rides, commuters have to wait at bus stops situated along the road.There are 23 major bus stops as of now and two routes , one from Adyar to Kelambakkam and the other from Velachery to Kelambakkam.Both these routes meet at SRP tools.
