pl do not compare tirupati with benares as one is a small temple town based on temple and no private houses in tirupati, whereas varanasi is totally thickly populated city and have very narrow lanes. tirupati is a hill town and benares is not.
about the roads, i agree with vishwanathji that nh2 is far better - in fact, in my trip, we missed the cut to go inside benares simply because it goes out of the city as a by-pass. some roads are bad in up but to...
more... compare a hill town populated only on a floating population with a minimal local population and the other city is thickly populated one plus extra load of visitors from all over the world.
the other most important point is - you can touch, perform jal abhishek to the shivling in varanasi and in tirupati you have to be contended by seeing the god from a distance.
