Faster is Chennai - Vellore - Krishnagiri - Salem. ( I generally go by this route)

Shorter by say 90 Kms - Chennai - Ulundurpet - Attur - Salem. But takes longer time.

Chennai-Ulundurpet is 4 laned..
again from athur is 2 lane, but it is NH...
so only ulundurpet-Athur is the problem right? Reliance is doing this 4 laning for the last 5-6 yrs!

Ulunderpet-Salem in NH68, work is under progress for 4-5yrs and it will take another 1.5-2yrs to complete the 4-lane works.

bye-pass is coming up at Kallakurichi, chinasalem, thalaivasal, Attur, Narasingapuram, Vazhapadi and also new alignment at Salem by new bye-pass! In quite few places flyovers, bridges and even 4 lane is done! But it is better to take Krishnagiri route. 95% of omni buses from Salem takes Krishnagiri route.

Sir how come krishnagiri if we go by via vellore? the bus after the vellore>ambur>vaniyambadi>thirupathur>uthangarai>arur>salem...going like that

[gvijayan]

That is also one route. But, it is just two-lane between Vellore and Salem. Taking the Vellore - Krishnagiri - Salem is 4-lane all the way.

I ve observed NP lorry drivers having awareness of lane driving and lane changing procedures.

Majority of other drivers - state transport buses, taxis, private cars, maxi cabs etc dont know the procedure. They all need training.

[kannan infratech]

Driving Licenses are given without even practical testing, leave alone learning the rules.
Ippallam Ettu kooda podarathu Illa.

One van driver argued with me recently on NH4. He was keeping the right indicator ON but veering to the left. When I asked him why he kept the RI on while moving to the left, he said that he was signaling to me to overtake his van. He also accused me of not knowing the rules.

Its called Hazard Warning Lights
When you turn on your hazard warning lights every indicator of the car begins to flash. You turn on your hazard warning lights when you need to warn other road users of a hazard. This hazard could be your own car or an obstacle on the road. Turn on your hazard lights if your car has broken down, if you car is obstructing traffic or to warn other road users of a hazard ahead.

Never use them when parking dangerously or illegally or whilst towing.

But in our country, people use it when they proceed straight from the signal . Not sure whether RTO rule is there for this kind of usage.
