This isn't really a 90 degree turn. The photo is just taken from an angle that makes it look that way. It's more like 120 degrees which is still bad. https://

I think i would call that a 60 degree a turn. A 120 degree turn would be quite something!

  nothing like the 180 degree turn on having designs signed by multiple parties and then getting suspended for having it built, likely by the same parties.

  Yes you're quite right. I clearly need my morning coffee.

It is actually on Google Maps as a place named, "100° Aishbag Railway Bridge (Iconic Engineering Landmark)" https://maps.app.goo.gl/jQx1yMs1X9sAaReC7 https://maps.app.goo.gl/jQx1yMs1X9sAaReC7

  Ironic Google Maps locations are amazing. There's an only partly paved parking lot in my city which, until recently, was named "lake (seasonal)". That name is gone, but the main photo still features cars in ankle-deep muddy water.

In the US[1] and UK[2] you can find bridges with actual 90-degree angles that look a lot more dangerous than the Indian one. [1]https://maps.app.goo.gl/3CBqVHbVEtonHjcr9 https://maps.app.goo.gl/3CBqVHbVEtonHjcr9 [2]https://maps.app.goo.gl/8cVB44VDJRPadY6s6 https://maps.app.goo.gl/8cVB44VDJRPadY6s6

  #1 has stop signs. This is just like a regular T-intersection, but with one direction missing. #2 is a bike path. The one in India is designed for several hundred thousand people to pass through daily; it doesn't look like either of these is intended for those kinds of numbers.

    FYI I see cars on street view for #2 https://maps.app.goo.gl/hPuDQRTfcRKBkmRb9 https://maps.app.goo.gl/hPuDQRTfcRKBkmRb9
