    This road (NH) has not been designed for heavy-duty vehicles; it's high time some top road designers are brought in to study & verify this before a major tragedy occurs!

    I was there today happened around 3:15pm i was moving towards nanthoor fly over, he lost control and by the time truck toppled he was already trapped under side. that road is very narrow despite a 4 way lane, trucks taking turns often require a wide gap to maneuver but its very tricky if you are on a 4 wheeler when the truck besides you takes a turn they tend to move inwards towards you you got no space to move either side which is very dangerous. several accidents happened here in past. whoever designed this stretch from canara springs towards padil cross needs some proper education on how to design highways.
