Thanks for the detailed guidance, Abhi.


The problem with the Bangalore OTR is that it is not a continuous circle (especially Banasankari, Mysore-Peenya link), and I have not seen any good markings in the South-East corridor which has been around for a longer time.

You are right about NH34 but what I meant was the NH3 (Kolkata-Kharagpur) which you reach after you cross the Vidyasagar Setu and take Kon Expressway. I remember driving through the Salt Lake VIP Road, but the only markings were of city localities and no traveller info. It is a different matter that I had to go to Rash Behari Avenue, but I found that for a traveller, markings were poor. By any chance, are the places that you mention also mentioned in the sign boards? Maybe you can help us by pinpointing the actual turn off points.
