DRIVING AROUND DELHI & NCR
Dear Friends, you might have read much about Delhi / New Delhi / NCR and its chaotic traffic and also about the unfortunate incidents of road rage. Here, let us discuss how to make it easy driving here. We may begin with Connaught Place, hub of National Capital Territory of Delhi / New Delhi. Imagine a wheel, say wheel of a bicycle, with its hub, multiple spokes, and the rim, the ring roads.
As may be seen in map below, there are at ten (10) major roads originating from central parts of Delhi, going towards all directions. Five are national highways, first being NH 1, going northwards to Sonepat, Ambala, Chandigarh, Simla, Amritsar, and Jammu. Second major road is NH 2, leading southwards to Faridabad, Mathura, Agra, Gwalior, Bhopal and Indore. Third major road is NH 24 going east towards Ghaziabad, Moradabad and Lucknow. Next major road is NH 10, going westwards to Bahadurgarh, Rohtak, and parts of Haryana and Punjab. Also, there is NH 8 going southwards to Gurgaon, Jaipur, Ahmedabad and Mumbai. The five other major roads are Vikas Marg, Loni Road, Mehrauli Road, Najafgarh Road, and Hapur Bypass (NH 24). Then, we have two ring roads - Ring Road and Outer Ring Road, circling the entire city.
