Re: Deteriorating roads of Maharashtra This is so close to the heart. I travel everyday between Sion and Seepz, and I dont cross an average speed of 20kmph. It takes me nearly 1 hour to cover about 15kms.
Major choke points:
- People crossing in Dharavi (absolute mess !)
- BKC/Kalanagar signal, where 2nd and 3rd lane is taken up by cars who want to turn right, so the cars who want to go straight now need to move to the 4th lane thus impeding traffic in those lanes.
- 6 lanes merging into 3 on Santacruz flyover.
- Get down from that flyover and now you are pushed into 2.5 lanes due to the new flyover which ends exactly at the same place.
- Then again the 5 lanes merge to get on the Vile Parle flyover.
- After getting into Andheri, its just a different kind of a mess.
We can go on and on. Solution to this?
If only these guys can keep the roads potholes and pothole filled mountain free, it will ease a lot of traffic.
About the traffic on the toll plaza. I could think of the following, just keep the toll it on one side, why do you need to charge toll while entering and exiting. Take double toll while exiting or while on the entry. This will ease a lot of traffic and save a lot of fuel.
