Did We Know Our Highways?

Did We Know Our Highways

We have a natural instinct of cursing those who made our roads or highways as the large craters, holes or bumpers made us to do that. But are we cursing the right authority for that. For example you are traveling on state highway and cursing NHAI.

So today i am going to differentiate the different highways or roads on the basis of Milestones. Some may know the nomenclatures and some may be unaware of it.

In India, on administrative basis, there are 3 kind of roads - the one maintained by the NHAI (Central body), the respective state government and the district administration. You might have come across the milestones also.

1. NATIONAL HIGHWAY

The one with Yellow and White Milestone.

2. STATE HIGHWAY

The one with White and Green Milestone.

3. CITY ROAD OR DISTRICT ROAD
The one with Black and White or Simply White Milestone
