Shriniwas, The NH8 between Surat and Vadodara could be a classic example for you. Road is 4-laned (dual a carriageway), shoulders are ill-fromed - incomplete,...

Hi Kumar, You could'nt have given a better example of a 4-lane NH in India then this one between Surat - Baroda. It sure is a pain doing the stretch, now it...
