Some guy brings up Singapore, I talk about Singapore, and the guy says it is not on topic.
Apparently, road design has nothing to do with whether public transport is involved or not and in what form.
That's the Internet.
I mention singapore because you said UP doesn't have enough space to do it, yet you said singapore is small enough to able to do it because of unrelated reason.
You still haven't tell me how having a good public transport will automagically make sure this sort of junction, which consist of more than 90° angle left turn, no line to indicate who got the priority and who need to yield, and no yellow line in the middle of junction to indicate no stopping, would never exists.
You're proven wrong yet still want to twist it as if others are so wrong and you're the only correct one. Now that's the internet.
Respond with an example.
Are there large regions with good population density and existing land use that have good roads designed around those existing holdings, unlike what is done in UP, India?
Do your own homework before replying. If this is the result of 5 days of silence, then i refuse to further engage.
The votes on the other 2 points will tell whether your mentioning Singapore was "engagement" to begin with.
Upvote if you agree.
And you think that elevated road not useful to the layman taking up space is OK? And the problem is the simple design of the road below, which people use uneventfully everyday with common sense at Indian speeds?
Upvote if you agree.
So, you think that, even when roads and transport policies are co-designed on a clean slate like in Singapore, transport policies wouldn't have influenced road design? When even something as simple as a bus lane has been known to work?
