kerala is the god's own country. but i have some objections. do we get the comforts of the god's own country? i m not indicating the social or political conditions of the state. but it is related. basic needs of human are food, cloths, shelter etc. but a vital basic need of the 21 st century men is to travel.
we knew the conditions of the roads in our state, kerala. a large group of the people in the state depend on the road system to travel. but, do the road system in the state apt for the nearly 35 million population in the state? i would say "no". the total area of the state is around 38000 sq km. the total number of vehicle are 5 million. a large volume of road traffic is carried by two national highways viz NH 17 and NH 47. the two highways are around 850 km long. due to the chain development close to the coastal area from north to south of the state, thru where the highways pass, the roads get congested year by year.
now, we have four-laned road on NH47 from charthela to angamali in a width of 30 mtr. in my opinion, the whole NH can be widened to four-lane by 30 mtr. and major areas in the state already has 30 mtr width.
the width of one track is 3.5 mtr. so for a four-laned road, it would be 4*3.5=14 mtr. a parking area can be made on both side on 2*3 mtr basis i e 6 mtr. a median can be constructed in 4 mtr. pavements can be construted on both side in 2*3 mtr basis i e 6 mtr.
14 + 6 + 4 + 6 = 30 mtrs...
so we have to complete the four-laning of the NH in 30 mtr in 2-3 years. and we have to go for an express highway in 90 mtrs within 10 years....
anyway we can hope the dreams will come true....................
