What's Wrong With INDIAN ROADS? 

They should make getting drivers license much more difficult. Many people who never have touched a steering wheel have a license in this country

I agree. There is a news of road digging for pipeline almost everyday. This really is a serious issue and there is a need to highlight this. Thanks Aevy for bringing attention to this issue!

Also govt needs to invest in AI cameras all around it’s NH roads at least so that if anyone breaks the rules is immediately caught and charged hefty amount. That and making getting DL more difficult are the only way Govt can solve this problem

The best tag line I have seen on Highway is "Jinko Jaldi , who chale gaye" . If India wants to take over China then better Roads is the only option.

if we compare quality roads in km in India only nearly 4000 km, does not matter what position 2,3 but now improving

Tarmac is better than cement roads in terms of safety because u get better breaking and better handling on tarmac , also speed is not the problem cars in European or Western countries ply at much higher speeds but fatalities are less because they follow discipline. Summary: tarmac >>concrete Discipline >>>> low speeds

City roads are State Issues. But it is spread across India. A common issue. Corrupts make road then dig it for pipeline or other nuisance. This is happening through years. National Issue now. State's power on road construction should be curbed and a national decision should be made. We have roads which look like roads before independence.

In our colony we have very fine roads no holes smooth plan roads but in in summer roads completely destroyed in name of water pipe line now in rain session situation get worse water in patholes,holes etc Looks like we traveled back in days where we don't have roads just made by human activities And I don't think that govt. Going to make roads in next 10 years

Simplest solution for reducing accident on highways is for everyone to drive in their own lanes.

This is probably India's biggest issue. If you count hygiene and poverty, this comes next. Hygiene and poverty will develop soon or later, and that is the least of my concerns, but Indian roads NEED to improve. Come on guys, it's 2023. I'm glad that Aevy brought this topic up because the road infrastucture in India still has a LOT to improve on. There are potholes every like 100 feet you travel on the roads, and the traffic. The traffic is not maintained at all. But at the same time, I can't blame India because India has so much population that traffic is pretty much impossible to improve, and some obvious changes have actually improved traffic, for instance, the METRO system. METRO introduced another way of transportation and makes it a lot easier to travel a lot quicker. There are solutions out there to these huge problems, but India needs to take action to actually improve the nation.

AS A CIVIL ENGINEER i can say india is still performing underwhelming in infrastructure but the propaganda blinding our people, we are soo dumb in urban planning and drainage system. indias 2 tier cities are so dull and shit you cant imagine. but we are busy in bootlicking gadakari like he is doing charity with his own money

Its on the people, if you travel a lot then you must have noticed unwarned speed breakers developed by the locals so that they stop and look to buy something from them, this indeed has created a lot of accidents + nobody gives a damn shit of Traffic and driving rules. If India people started living like Americans and Europeans, in no time India will be the most visited country in the world

Creation and lack of communication in different departments are the main problem.😢😢😔 Water supply, and cable connection, electricity department are not communicated properly before digging and construction that the main problem for bad rood and survices😢 Building easy and effective protocols and software for permission are more convenient methods.❤❤ No politition has the ability to implement those rules and interests.😢😔

Legends know this is the fourth thumbnail 😂

Didnt expect Priyal Dhuri💯

Every hour 3 people die from road accidents in UP. 18 in India. Instead of Hindu vs muslim We should talk about this

You guys are going great job. Why you guys are not famous??

Road Standards Vary: Different countries have their own criteria for defining what constitutes a highway or a major road. In India, it seems that the statistics for total road mileage include a large number of roads, even those that might be considered low-grade or not up to international highway standards. This can inflate the overall mileage figure compared to countries with stricter criteria. Inclusion of Non-Paved Roads: In some countries, like India, it appears that non-paved roads may be counted as part of the total road mileage, contributing to the higher figures. However, in some other countries, only concrete or asphalt-paved roads are considered highways, which can result in a lower reported mileage. Width Requirements: Countries like China may impose specific width requirements for roads to be classified as highways. For instance, only roads with a width of more than seven meters and paved with concrete or asphalt are considered highways. This selective classification could potentially lead to a lower highway mileage figure in China compared to India, where roads with smaller widths or different surface materials may also be included. It is essential to consider these variations and differences in road standards and classification methods when comparing road statistics between different countries. The reported mileage may not provide a direct comparison of the quality or infrastructure of roads in each country. Additionally, factors such as population density, urbanization levels, and terrain can also influence the overall road network and the types of roads found in each nation.

Guys your audio is all over the place. Please maintain consistent audio throughout the video. I had to lower & raise my volume multiple times throughout the video. Otherwise, great joB!

I would love if you can make a video on the cons of focusing too much on road based infrastructure too..

Finally a worthy new channel

Enjoyed the video. Quick suggestion that some flakes appear when the background gets completely white behind the presenter. It's a tad bit distracting though.

In our city Hyderabad every street is transforming into a concrete road now I get it why they are switching from asphalt road to concrete road

One of the few YT channels where I return to check if something new is uploded

Thank you for a wonderful video. Now, I kind of disagree with the quirky despeeding BRO slogans being an effective safety tool. Here are more strategic ways of reducing roadway fatalities: 1. Modern Auto safety standards: Bharat New Car Assessment Programme (Bharat NCAP) is India’s own crash testing programme starting from 1 October. This will be a step up from our current inefficient and lacking safety standards. 2. Policing and highspeed traffic laws: One of the safest highways in the world, the German Autobahn has a speed limit of 130kmph and records much lower accident rates. That’s mainly due to a handful of stringent safety rules, and the presence of the autobahnpolizei - the autobahn’s dedicated police force. 3. Better road safety marking: Winter months in Delhi see an alarming 15-20% rise in road traffic accident cases. This trend observed is in December, January when fog, pollution are at their peak and days are shorter. This city also records the highest number of road deaths. I hope we end up taking more steps at a central govt. Level as high speed roads become more accessible and widespread increasing.

Come to Andhra for the research on this topic. No need for you to search for potholes on the roads, but you have to search for finding the roads!

I hope people who are overspeeding know that they bring others to danger too. Your quick cut in front of an average skilled driver can cause them to act abruptly.

2:41 GTA San Andreas, where is my brother CJ 😭😭😭

I am saddened by how India really doesn't think much about it's own residents. The human life value in the country is low if not lowest for sure. A trolley was installed and it was tested with humans on board when everyone thought they can just some sandbags why humans had to be put there, and it failed the trial and human lost lives. Also my great friend along with 2 more people, all with huge potential to bring change for the betterment of the State, the Rural India and India in general died in a road accident by their car getting hit by a truck and going into a ditch. Human life value has to be kept as an index to work on. If we are not valuing the people who reside in this country then even the rest of the countries won't value us, thereby we get stuck with weak passport. Improve conditions of existing roads, let there be barricading to limit cars from going off cliffs, let there be more trees on mountains to naturally prevent detailing of cars, let the dividers be properly aligned, make the road signs more visible, keep the street lights working at night, keep the night reflectors throughout the roads. Keep check on truck drivers, make their lives better so that there is not crazy drunk driving issue, not urgency to reach somewhere fast. These logistics companies really need to realise for capitalist goals they do not put pressure on humans to make fast and quick deliveries. Think human till AI takes over I'd say.

Priyal bhai Ke biceps 💪

I won't ever agree indian road standard has even reached EU's or global standards of 60's Or 80's. Just go on stretch of any NHAI roads you will find how badly they are build and Maitainence is hardly done. Patch works on potholes are nightmares. We all pay toll but nobody gives any fish about safety of roads. So undulating and dangerous with potholes.. India has poor even pathetic roads under modi

My city in Gujarat is renowned for Asia's largest Industrial area but send someone to see the road conditions. 20-40 inch potholes are there and a simple bike cannot go beyond 25 kmph speed forget about cars and trucks. The local government is busy showing off in other activities and only come out during election campaigns. I have personally requested so many time. Problem is that they are alloted the funds but since 8 years roads are not repaired. They are just patched once in 2 years which only last 1 month Max. It's high time people should avoid BJP who has taken their power for granted. The entire area radius of 35 kms in destroyed due to bad infra and poor politics. Problem is that this is the main connecting point between Surat and Ahmedabad hence vehicles are overloaded every second

I just discovered your channel and have been watching all the videos on topics I am interested in. Just a suggestion for the next video, Electric cars progress, as do charging stations and other necessary infrastructure in India. I say this because the EVs and AI is something would let india in develop even faster and I have searched RU-vid, but no one has covered it so far. Also, I think it would be the right time since Tesla has announced its intentions to do business in India. I do watch a lot of videos of this sort and do my research intensively before I get an opinion on a certain topic, so if there's anything I could do to help, do let me know.

All said well , 02:30 - Roadrash and GTA SA 🔥 good creativity 😂.. In a preplanned budget designing govt y can’t they actually dig and lay all necessary EB , ISP cables or at least a big tube for future use of cable planting before a new road is being constructed…??🤦‍♂️

Didn't Mod launch an app to resolve the issue of constant digging of roads.

Stupid question but can someone tell me who balaji is?

Thumbnail me outside India ka jo photo hai wo Kolkata ka ‘Maa Flyover’ ka hai. 😅

1:11 who is balaji?

Thanks for the information

Why are Urban roads bad ? A- We did some digging...

I shared this video with Nithin Gadkari, let's see what happens

Logo ko gadi tho chalna nhi ata High beam par light kar ke rakte hai all the time

Correction: 5:10 "American roads are good not becouse America is rich. America is rich becouse American roads are good"

I felt like you wrapped up from the middle of the plot, did you guys have less researched or removed content to accommodate advertisement.

100 percent right...

its very difficult to follow especially to who knows only Native & English. Your video are great and content has quality finally the presentation is overwhelmingly impressive. Inside every content adding other than English to make default follow and missing the part what it deliver to us. It is a Suggestion..

I thought this was the situation only in West Bengal. Although, which staggers me, porch areas always have good roads, it never gets damaged 🧐

There are way less road accidents per capita in India compared to many other countries,its less than a lot of so called developed countries like Hungary and Canada (just for eg). Source: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_traffic-related_death_rate#:~:text=The%20risk%20of%20dying%20as,of%20road%20deaths%20are%20males.

I live in a city, there is someone digging the roads for pipeline every day here, and every time they do that there will be a new speed breaker. This is because of poor planning and little coordination between the two organizations, since both are government agencies, this isn't gonna stop any time soon

i was riding my bike on Mumbai - Pune expressway at 110-120 kmph at 2AM and speed limit of the road is 80KMPH, i thought nothingsgonna happen and those cameras still took my numberplate's photos and Maharashtra traffic police sent me challan of 2000rs at my email. damn that's impressive.

Priyal's back must be aching, hard carrying the video all by himself.

You guys are insane at catching trends… since past 2-3 days my IG feed was full of indian roads and pipeline issue and today they released a video on the same. As always amazing content

I just recently found your channel and your team puts more effort in videos than the majority of Indian educational content creators. You deserve so much fame guys

My brother is a PWD contractor, before starting his business he bought on emi a JCB, a Roller, two mini trucks, one 6wheel mid size Tripper, testing equipments and other miscellaneous stuff. He got a manager for the construction site and three drivers on a monthly payroll. This is just the initial investment, then to make sure he gets the tender he had to pay 1% of Bill value to a guy working in PWD dept, 1.5% to the Chief Engineer, 2% to the local MLA and another 2.5-3.5% to upper level CM, PWD minister (probably) else he won't get his bill passed. He has to travel to the capital city every two months. The govt keeps 10% of your bill as a security money for 3-5 years. Within that time period if anything happens to the road it will be compensated from the security money. Now like any other contractor in India, he also try to cut corners by using cheap material & also to compensate for the bribe that he has given. From here you can guess the quality of the finished road. This is the reality in almost all the states. Also you have to bribe the quality inspection guy even if you have built the best road in the world, they are never satisfied, he'll find something if you don't give him his share of cream.

Good work save for the last part. Speeding is not the problem. Infact its easy to blame it at that and end the topic. The dichotomy of speed on the highway is. Driving discipline is the primary culprit. People need to be trained about the discipline in driving and its importance. Driving tests need to be much more stringent and people must be trained to handle vehicle at higher speeds. The current driving tests are laughable to say the least where one is only driving in a straight line for 5 minutes at 20kmph on an isolated road. Fatalities are also down to unsafe vehicles plying on the roads as well as unsafe parameters during road construction like flyovers. There needs to be a safety framework exercised which is on par with worldwide standards. This is extremely expensive so the government (any government, not just this one) blames it on speeds and thinks the public will take the matter to be solved.

Why are Mumbai's and banglore's roads are like this? Well we did some digging ✨Pun-intended✨

half of the highways/expressways that were made in the last 5 years are nowadays full of bumps and potholes and you say the corruption isn't the main cause honestly seems a little weird tbh.

Within a single year I have seen a road being reconstructed 3 times ......🤷🏻

it's not only fast moving vehicles that cause accidents. It's also the slow moving ones. I've seen many vehicles going at 40kmph or below in the highway. And some of these idiots don't use turn signals when switching the lane.

An Internal news : any person who get an government contracts has to give about 35%(approx may be more or less depending upon government and contract size or type) to concern minister and gov. Employee. This has to be assured or otherwise you're tender will be regected no matter how good your work or experience is.

Now we can roads from plastic waste but still local corporations don't do that.

Diging new roads for pipelines feels heart broken

Catchy phrases and speed limiters won't work. Speed limiters came in 2018 for the taxi segment, not for personal vehicles. Owners of commercial or taxi vehicles remove speed limiters once the vehicle is certain miles or kms on the vehicle. Deaths can be reduced if heavy fines and education of road safety are imposed. Political leaders love to control Rural india. The thing is why people not going after their chosen leaders for road safety.

Nothing wrong with roads, its upon driver's how they driver the car ,bike 🚲. Har road perfect nahi hota, as also har driver. 😢. Contractor, construction engineers degrees leke ban jate hai. Jiske pass nahi hoti degree. How in old times without degree they build up many infrastructures. Its not on degree ,its skills. Some are born with skills ,some are not. Mega road infrastructure ke chakkar me kai acche contractors ki jane gayi hai, because of corruption 😑 seen in crime petrol. They torcherded their families to get out from contract. Fam. Bich me kyon. There is one seeing that seen. The child who will grow taking anger ,anger, ang. In mind and will same do with other. With fam. Of theirs. We have to care ❤ for this kind of unkind children 😢. We dont want more chaos in country. Sambhal lo sab ko sab apne hi hai. Sab ek 😊

Roads? Just coming home safely after a 1 km ride is a miracle due to rash drivers everywhere. Nobody even waits for the signals.

I think you said it, asphalt does not last long, but cement went done wrong also undergo wear and tear, I lived in Indore for 6 yrs and all the gullys are made via cement and frankly many times, the poth hole is deep that the underneath rocks are visible. Once I fell on that underneath rock while riding my cycle, that was painful, plus the riding experience is not smooth ,atleast those road in cement. In comparison, a damar/bitumen/asphalt road ride experience is smooth atleast when I am on a bicycle

I am from Karnataka and I am happy to see that every small road and every road in the villages are made of cement so I think there is less corruption and more prominent peoples in our government😊😊

biggest reason for roads being so shitty in bangalore is corruption . you guys should explore more on that

U people don't understand BJP central road project and non BJP local party road project Bihar bridge was made by state ruling party not by BJP govt why blame transportation minister for non bjp state. Minister for colaps

They highlight the reasons for many road deaths in India. Also, I want to point out that there should be a hospital at least near any road. You never know if a person has sudden complications and needs to reach a hospital under 10 min or less. I love their content. Highly support you and your team. They should at least make another channel called Aevy Tv: Behind the scenes. But I like your channel and I love the fact that these guys don't leave out any important message to tell and present all the truths.

Could you please make a case Study on reddit ? Being a reddit user , I just want to know how did they start and what were the strategies for its success, One I know is the founders created fake accounts and started using the app until they got even more users to join. Would love to know about it more

Will you make a video on Jack Dorsey’s recent statement please?

I still remember during some elections in Rajasthan, some politician was boasting about how Rajasthan has the most number of roads than any other state and I thought what a dumb guy, Rajasthan is one of the largest states so obviously it will have more roads 🧠

The "OUTSIDE INDIA" picture is of Maa Flyover kolkata, India 😅

Nothing is corrupt when it comes to infrastructure projects in India. Blame it on nature. The authorities are doing a great job.

Hi from where I come from here the rains are heavy and most of the deterioration of the of the roads happens due to poor drainage system. Secondly asphalt roads are recyclable as the material from old roads is extracted remixed with fresh bitumen and laid again unfortunately this is not happening in at our country ( atleast in my town)

That's why we need Ghati Shakti program to be implemented... I know and I can bet nothing goes according to plan in India, even with all pre-planned road with water, pipelines etc still we will be digging the road coz it's India! I mean we're good and bad at the same time...

Gadkariji is building roads at high speed but not taking care of the quality Ex: newly inaugurated delhi mumbai express way and Chennai Mysuru express way

I know why the road in my city (Bangalore ) is terrible. It's a simple reason, CORRUPTION. They will learn new ways to make bad-quality asphalt roads and cement ones. One thing the Karnataka politicians are very good at is making money, they should start a teaching master class on how to do corruption.

We lack lane discipline. Speed is not always the culprit (infact i propose increasing the limit on highways). Lane discipline, wrong side overtaking and defective vehicle lights, bad lighting on roads and the worst part unorganized and poorly designed roads and the markings. Also cant blame everything on Government, well their job is to provide us better designed functional roads and infra and sensible rules to be strictly implemented and its our job to follow them. Chalta hai, tu jantha hai mein kaun hun, abhi bulata hun type of BS attitude chodna padega.

Speed cameras and 2k per infraction.. Will that solve highway overspeeding?

Instead of putting up cringey signs, India should be strict in giving out drivers licences. Only after rigorous testing should a person be permitted to drive a passenger vehicle. People here lack basic knowledge about road safety; they don't give two hoots about it.

0:20 This is happening now due to the LPG Pipeline

Why are videos in English but skits are in Hindi. How are people who don't know Hindi supposed to undertand. There is no subtitles too. 🥲

A very accurate and much needed video. It should reach millions of people.

R u guys nuts. There are central projects and state projects. National highways that are central projects are top notch. But state managed roads are bad due to corruption

*I think GATI Shakti initiative was to solve this problem right???*

Yesterday I went around 15km away from my house to buy something and throughout the way I kept complaining about the roads and the drivers and how they don't give indicators while turning and how road has only single lane space for driving as one side is completely occupied by shops, stalls, bike & cars parked

Video bohot achha he, style bhi achha he , lekin....... English me Sunane me maja nahi aatta...aisa lagta he me boar ho raha hu..isliye video bich me chod ke jaa raha hu..🙏

5:12 it goes - American roads are good not because American is rich , But America is rich because American roads are good

Govt ignores the rural roads as it doesn't contribute more to economy but rural roads have the most impact on agricultural sector and labour sector. Bad conditions in rural roads increases fuel consumption of goods carriage vehicle as a result agricultural products become expensive as well.

They should mix plastic in the concrete cause it will recycle the plastic and also make the roads more durable.

Guys bring back the marketing strategies breakdown and business videos 👀

Government is developing. Look at new expressways. But look at what happened on them as soon as they open people are not taking care of themselves others on roads and also hurting the road itself. People also need to develop themselves

3 trillion ki GDP se Kiya hi ukhar lenge . Jitna mil Raha hai utne Mai hi Khush rahena Hoga .

Recent Porsche crash in Pune...is a shame...🤦🏿‍♂️

Indian roads can never be good because to make something good, you need to first eliminate corruption (at least to a great extent) and second is hard working people. Indians are high on corruption and extremely low in working hard. Just few (1 or 2) km of roads take Indian workers and contractors almost 3 to 4 years to complete. China does this in less than 6 months. The worst part is that even after giving 3 to 4 years, Indians still can’t get it right. Goa is the only exception here.

Video quality becoming at par with Vox.

02:50 "Humanity ka sabse favourite Kam" I agree the line

for me the best part was 2:30 and 11:38 ofcourse
