Good that you had a safe trip.

1. The OMR has horrible traffic all the way to Hosepet which is not news to anyone perhaps. But it does move
Would that be Hosakote?

2. Near Paraneeru there are some bad stretches but otherwise road is ok. The tolled stretch after joining it near Ranipet is great of course.
And this Palamneru? I hope the mini ghat section is intact.

6. Absolutely no one stopped me at any checkpoint or anywhere for papers, except one copy / RTO guy in Andhra after Chittoor. Guy did not ask for papers, simply wrote down the name in a register, asked me to sign, and asked Rs.50 for that ('Sir, checkpoint formlity sir!'). I did not pay, and he waved me off, perhaps ashamed that he asked
That's surprising. When you enter AP from KA, normally the checkpost before Palamneru is where the checkpost guard jumps in front of your car.
I have never been stopped though at any of the checkposts on this route.
