00:00:01.410 --> 00:00:05.589
India has a traffic problem, and
easing Rd congestion is about

00:00:05.589 --> 00:00:09.436
more than just convenience. It's
an important step toward

00:00:09.436 --> 00:00:13.748

of 1.4 billion people. But what

00:00:13.748 --> 00:00:17.529
will it take to get Indian
traffic moving? The challenge

00:00:17.529 --> 00:00:21.840
certainly isn't a lack of roads.
The Indian Rd network stretches

00:00:21.840 --> 00:00:25.555
over 6,000,000 kilometers,
making it the second longest

problem is that only 3% of those
