What good are all these infrastructure improvements going to do when the basic problem is road traffic here doesn't move in a structured way, It's everybody for themselves weaving in and out of lanes, even on National Hwy's you see people driving on the wrong side of the road, taking short cuts, trucks changing tires in the fast lane with no hazard lights on. Driving at night is so dangerous, people crossing the median,...The list goes on and on. In simple English, it's a jungle out there, too many cars and drivers with no civic sense!
