Very Sad…RIP
This NH66 from Trashi to Mangalore is the most hazardous
road designed and being constructed from donkey’s years
with no completion in sight!
There are no proper exits or entry roads designed for every
town on NH66, and no pedestrian crossings foreseen – and
the those who use this NH66 have to take risks – that
involves death most of the time.
Lorries and buses are plying on the wrong side of the road
– that is on the fast lane at all times – which is not normal
in any part of the world – Buses and Lorries must be made
to drive only on the left side of the NH66. The fast lane
must be left open for cars and motorbikes only.
Secondly parking of lorries and buses and as well cars on the
NH66 and on the main roads must be prohibited, as they are
a hazard for oncoming traffic. The Government must build
Car Parking Buildings and Open Lots for Lorries and Buses
and charge them a hourly, daily, or monthly fee. This is
done in all countries in the world. Why don’t our CM and PM
learn something after visiting outside of India on their trips.
Why can’t the Karnataka Transport Dept. look into this
and do something to avoid loss of life and property.
