Drove on some sections of the Kerala NH-66: 5 quick observations

It was a bliss driving through the completed sections and so happy to see the beautiful clean high speed highway covered with greenery on both sides

Those who are driving through this road (Completed sections of the new NH66), please be careful and watch out for surprises. I will name a few that were deadly given the high speeds thats possible and superb road surfaces.

• On right (fast lane), there are cases where the divider concrete slabs are tilted and kept to block half the lane. Mostly noticed where there are exits and entrances to service lane. (Saw couple of badly damaged cars near to it )
• Vehicles coming in opposite directions, very casually. This too on the right most lane
• Without lane marking, some sections are difficult to comprehend the turns at high speeds
• People do walk on the right most lane. There are chances they might cross over
• Very poorly lit sections, which is expected given the stage of development. But night riding will be risky.

In summary, do enjoy the drive, but please be over cautious for these cases.
