[1] The street, slightly resembling a highway, is at some places over 50 metres wide, and its speed limit is 50 kph.
Topographically, the street is almost entirely the bottom of an old valley stretching from Pasila to Sörnäinen, and its landscape structure can be best seen from the overpass bridges on Hämeentie and Sturenkatu.
Teollisuuskatu was later built, narrower at the time, along the track on its northern edge, and it originally only led from Hämeentie to Jämsänkatu.
[1] After the track lining changed, only the parts leading to the freight station and to the machine works remained in use on Teollisuuskatu.
[12] The connection between Pasila and Kalasatama, called the Teollisuuskatu axis, is marked as a central activity area in the Helsinki zoning plan in 2016.
[2] According to the zoning known as "the Wall Street of Helsinki", there could be new buildings, bicycle paths and a new light rail track built on grass, which would replace the current bus line 500.
