Crookbond Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 No kidding. A basic requirement even in a developing economy and then we talk about 45 lakhs being spent on IPL celebrations.
Stuge Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 Good Roads are must .Bad road needs more gas to to travel the same distance thus we are all affected by it /
kabira Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 definately.. But even with good roads without traffic sense or driving skills its useless. Picture this..I recently went from Ahmedabad to Surat. Ahmedabad to Barado, there is experessway about 90 km, took me only 45 mins. from baroda to Surat there is 6 track highway (yes 6 track), 160 odd kms it took me 3 hours...even though its 6 track, one track totally occupied by 2 wheelers and 3 wheeler and other two lanes, this slow truck drivers use it...instead of using other two slower lanes...There are clear instruction for them not to use right most lane...
The Dark Horse Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 No fecking politician gives a damn about the country, my heart pains when i see the quality of roads here..
Crookbond Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 No prizes for guessing why roads in Delhi are decent than other parts of the country.

kabira Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 Roads are good in most part of Gujarat with few exceptions...We just don't know how to manage traffic....
Mariyam Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 Roads in Gujarat and (northern) Karnataka are quite good. At par with what I've seen outside India. The Mumbai Goa road has really gone to the dogs. The road used to be scenic and was always a fun drive. But over the last few years the traffic on that road has increased exponentially and the road is also in a state of neglect. And with the monsoons looming it will only get worse. :((
Crookbond Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 Pothole forces woman into labour; baby delivered right there A pregnant woman was forced to deliver her baby in an autorickshaw in the middle of the road after it got stuck in a pothole at Ulhasnagar, late on Thursday night. http://www.ndtv.com/article/cities/pothole-forces-woman-into-labour-baby-delivered-right-there-232840?ndtv_rhs :headshake:

bihutoli Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 Roads are good in most part of Gujarat with few exceptions...We just don't know how to manage traffic.... I'd take that for the rest of the country really.
