A long stretch on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad Highway lacks important road signs at crucial points, including spots that are dangerous for motorists. To make matters worse, 18 of the 21 bridges on the carriageway between Mumbai and Charoti are barely illuminated as most street lights on the overpasses are not working. Motorists said authorities are yet to wake up despite the death of former Tata Group chairman Cyrus Mistry in an accident on this highway.
