[Talk-in] No rationalization of NHs numbers

[Prasanth Rajan]

Hello Naveen.

I sully agree with you; new highways are based on 2 digit and 3 digit
scheme but at the moment based on the MORTH and the NHAI data, the old
numbers remain as-is. NH185 and NH183A in Kerala are new additions to the 9
NHs and they certainly use the new numbering. The DORTH site still lists
all old numbers - Karnataka shows NH7 and no NH44 etc.

On an off note, the physical signs on the highways are quite interesting
now. I see both NH7 and NH44 near Bangalore leading to a lot of confusion
to the first time users of the road :)

Regards.
Prasanth
