Narrow streets and alleyways in the DK-G branch off to main streets, leading into private neighborhoods

The planned city of Mohenjo-daro was constructed along a grid of streets. The orthogonal street layout of the city could be mainly categorized into the widest streets, the secondary streets and the narrow streets (smaller alleyways). The main street running from north to south along the east edge of the Great Bath ends with this unusual brick platform. The hollow sockets are likely to have held wooden beams that may have formed a gate or traffic control device. A small alley leads directly east under the stupa mound.
