It doesn't help that the Indian driving culture has a concept for "slow the fuck down" and that right of way seems to belong to whichever vehicle is largest.

I've been in India multiple times fur work (not UP). The traffic there is insane. There's a set of unwritten rules you have you follow, and a shit ton of written ones you must ignore in order to survive.
I'm not joking when I say that stopping in a zebra crossing for pedestrians to walk would get you in an accident, because nobody expects a car to stop for people.
Looks to me like just bad driving and a refusal to watch for traffic
I don’t see anything wrong with this design, it’s just missing the “no left turns” sign (or it’s being ignored).
I have a forked road like this near where I live, where OpenMaps gave illegal directions and I was able to submit a bug report tha left turns are not allowed
I am gonna guess it was supposed to be one way road which was turned into 2 way by just planting some sticks in the middle. The funds allotted to work was probably pocketed for another couple luxury SUV.
The best part is the dude who gets off the bus in the middle of the road.
The absolute fearlessness of the bus drivers 😭
holy shit
The drivers? How bout that guy who just popped out mid turn and kept walking lol.
