Chennai's economic development has been closely tied to its port and transport infrastructure, and it is considered as the best infrastructure in India.
The city and metropolitan area are served by major arterial roads that run either in an east-west or north-south direction . Anna Salai — or Mount Road as it is more popularly called — is the city's most famous road. It traverses most of central and south Chennai and leads on to the Grand Southern Trunk Road (National Highway 45) to Thiruchirapalli. The road runs in a north-east to south-west direction. Other arterials include Kamaraj Salai (north-south), Poonamalee High Road (east-west), Radhakrishnan Salai (east-west), and Sardar Patel Road (east-west). East Coast Road starts from Thiruvanmiyur and connects Mahabalipuram, Pondicherry and extends beyond.
