Precincts are artificially enclosed areas in town planning formed by arterial and sub-arterial roads. They are quiet areas where through traffic is not allowed and all internal roads are strictly local. Each precinct is planned as a distinct residential, business, or industrial unit that connects to adjoining precincts by tunnels or bridges over dividing arterial roads, with buildings not facing those major roads and few connections between precinct roads and sub-arterial roads.
