[Talk-in] Time for consensus

[Shajeer Mohammed]

It is great to have a dedicated person like you who can map and make changes 
to roads as their condition changes. But for most people including me, I 
rarely go back and vist the same road once its mapped. So if we cant come up 
with once standard lets then come up with 2!. Even though there are no 
standards on construction quality, number of lanes etc..., there is a 
standard on the ownership of the roads. NHAI owns all National Highways and 
Bypasses. State government PWD owns all state highways and local roads are 
owned by local civic bodies.
So looks like the disagreement is on tagging national highways and state 
highways. I guess we all agree on express ways?
