Traffic

Traffic is chaotic in India. More so in Vapi than in Mumbai. Just drive where it's most convenient.

Mumbai: Count the lanes; count the tuk-tuks plus taxi and motorcycle. Why use two lanes when four (and a half) will fit? Signs along the road say, "Lane Driving Safe Driving".

I missed a golden opportunity to get a traffic video when we were first in line at the Morai railroad crossing.

Waiting for the train. Just beyond the truck is NH8. Even a short wait backs up traffic on the highway.

A close-up of the other side of the tracks. The truck is in the proper lane. Note the motorcycles and cars lined up in the lane for oncoming traffic. Our side was the same. To our right were motorcycles and cars waiting to cross the tracks. When the gates open, the motorcycles zip ahead, and somehow, everyone gets across and ends up in the proper lane.

I'm still trying to record a good video of traffic. I'll post it when I get it!
