The Indian govt. person gone connected a monolithic improvement spree of late, with the road network. This is what has shown successful the results. But, successful presumption of roadworthy information and quality, determination is simply a gigantic stride to beryllium made. White topping seems rushed and poorly executed. One lone request to thrust a fewer kms connected a freshly made factual roadworthy to recognize what I'm connected about. They dependable and vibrate similar those euphony roads gone wrong. Expansion joints connected flyovers are arsenic ample arsenic the span themselves! (/s)

But, crucially, these caller routes are connecting much radical than ever and allowing for easier question crossed the nation. This tin lone beryllium a bully happening for the country. Looking guardant to the time erstwhile metropolis roads are taken earnestly excessively xD.

I chose 'Somehow Acceptable'. From wherever we were immoderate 25 years agone today, our roads person go amended successful leaps and bounds. So galore radical I cognize bash 1000 kms successful 13-14 hours present - immense portion of that recognition to the vastly improved roads (and the remaining to vastly improved cars successful India ).

I besides deliberation that the pursuing areas request urgent attraction to marque our roads safer

• Better signage, particularly of intersections, velocity limits, mishap zones, cattle zones. Not conscionable signage, but possibly digitalized representations of those connected our navigation systems
• Better enforcement of entry-exits, controlled eways and highways to forestall mishaps
• Strict enforcement of lane based connected conveyance benignant and stipulated velocity for that lane
• Active crackdown connected mobile telephone users and drunk folks during driving
• Scientifically designed roads: I precocious took a batch of expressways crossed the country. While they person reduced the clip taken for question by 50%, the cement tops person thousands of micro undulations. Then we person severely designed hold joints that enactment arsenic rocket launchpads. At ineligible limits of 120kph, a tiny mistake successful judgement tin nonstop a conveyance flying. Ditto with unmarked speedbreakers, severely installed barricades, rumbler strips astatine curves and poorly designed ingress oregon egress from our shiny caller highways. It's clip we moved beyond roadworthy capacities arsenic the lone metric and besides usage technological parameters to measurement the information and usability of our roads.

Overall, I'm beauteous blessed with however we person improved successful the past 25 years, but we person immoderate much years to spell earlier much cardinal problems are resolved.
