The road connects the [[Mahatma Gandhi Road, Kochi|MG Road]] in west with [[Vyttila]] Junction & Hub in east and continues further as [[Tripunithura]] Road that connects to Tripunithura, hence termed as the '''back bone road''' of Kochi.
 
S.A.Road along with M.G.Road are the two main arterial CBD roads connected with the [[Kochi Metro|Kochi Metro Rail]] and moving straight to Vytilla[[Vyttila Mobility Hub (biggest transport hub and junction in State of Kerala)]], where three modes of transport (rail, water and road)converge &and diverge, hence making it one of the most expensive and affluent areas in the city and Statestate of Kerala.
 
Kochi's high-end housing colonies are all branched out from this arterial road likesuch as [[Panampilly Nagar]], Giri Nagar, Gandhi Nagar, and Jawahar Nagar etc, it is a commercial high street with Hospitals, Banks & 5 star classified Luxury Hotels (Olive Downtown, Radisson Blu, etc.), enhancing the road's importance is its easy access to the city downtown railway station (Ernakulam Junction Railway Station-Biggest & Central Railway station at Kochi).
 
Greater Cochin Development Authority (GCDA) & Rajiv Gandhi International Indoor Stadium are located along this road at Kadavanthra.
