Yesterday for project reasons we had to travel to Manchester. It was decided we will go by car from London to Manchester. I dont drive it will be my English colleague who has to take the wheel. It was a long drive indeed. 3 hrs and bits.
The only thing that prompted me to write this post is the way they are maintaining the roads and the quality of the roads.
The first important thing about these roads are we can drive without worrying if someone or something will cross the road suddenly.
There are huge electronic signboards every 3 or 4 miles announcing if we should foresee any delays in that route for the next few weeks (like any major events happening or road works planned)
Wherever road works are happening there are clear indications of diverted traffic and route the diverted traffic should take.
Very advanced speed monitors
The important thing above all this is people respecting all traffic rules.
Can this become a reality in our country? :-(

Sure.
Dany,
Please travel more. It is amazing. This is the greatest difference. Most of the developed countries are so because of the transportation and the facilities. As long as the roads are not developed the country will not develop. Our people were boasting with having one anna flyover, and few mini fly overs across chennai. Look at these massive flyovers everywhere even in a small town. We have a long way to go.
Balaji,
These people had everything planned right from 1 A.D.
In India still nothing is planned. you cant expand the airport, you cant expand the roads etc.etc because there were no planning in first place.
