what problems has improvement of road transport caused?
Answers
My Observations:
1) Vehicles wait on toll gates due to:
a. Need of Exact Change for an absurd amount of Rs27 or Rs54 etc. (No One at NHAI heard about Rounding Off?)
b. “Jaanta Nahin Mera Baap Kaun Hain?” the 'Special Status' arguments holding up traffic
c. Malfunctioning systems
d. Changeover of staff, taking two minutes to log off and log in as per the attendant and balancing cash
e. Drivers chatting with attendants too
f. Manual collection of tolls (Pilferage?)
2) Small undulations, imperfections on seemingly well laid roads where you need to brake suddenly while cruising at a speed of 80+, thus wasting precious fuel
3) Potholes, rather Martian craters necessitating deliberate slowdowns, trying to find road to drive on, at roads which are between Highways and City limits (‘No Man’s Roads’)
4) Lack of road sense and feeling of entitlement, plying in the middle of two lanes road holding up traffic, and upon asking for side, get a glare back.
5) Wrong lane driving due to
a. Missing U turns near a habitation
b. Missing exits necessitating either long drives for exits or drive in wrong lanes
c. Missing underpasses
d. Bad road conditions
6) Lack of sufficient signage well before the exits. Many a times exit signs are almost on EXIT, necessitating backing up, rather than taking the next exit (Indian trait)
With almost 15 crore vehicles across India a 10-minute idling daily costs about Rs1,272 crore!
It has led to:-
- Demolition of houses and building.
- Due to this, many people lose their residence.
- Many shops are demolished.
- It has also led to closing of rivers, lakes, ponds.
Hope it has helped, please mark as brainlest
