This stretch may be particularly notorious but many other expressways in this country are just as bad. There is a takeaway. Drive cautiously on the highways, period.

Typically, highways are desolate when compared to the city grind most of us face everyday. This brings out the hidden racers in most of us. The problem is because of this when something unexpected leaps out of nowhere there is that much lesser time to react. A surefire recipe for disaster.

Follow a general thumb rule. Try to avoid driving after sundown. In the day time drive at speeds 1/10th the visible distance + 10kmph at max. By this formula you should be able to have a good visibility upto 400 meters at least for a speed of 50kmph, and so on.
