Summary:
Unfortunately, Bengaluru has an equal mix of poor surface quality roads and roads with geometric design flaws. If one goes by research,have two aspects – surface quality which develops potholes and second, poor geometric design which leads to unwarranted situations. This is the most common problem related to surface quality. Even a fully abled person finds it difficult to walk on these concrete slabs being used as footpaths.
