India sure felt like it... no such thing as a sidewalk, and the street is a nightmare of cars, tuktuks dodging around the cars, and motorcycles dodging around the tuktuks and cars. But I was just visiting; maybe if you live there it feels safe, I don't know.
- jhugo 5y agoAlthough by the numbers the roads in India are certainly much less safe than e.g. the US, it's not as unsafe as it looks for people who are used to it. Along with other countries with 'chaotic' roads, staying safe on the road in India comes more from drivers (and pedestrians) generally having very good situational awareness, rather than from strict adherance to a set of rules.
