In the first six minutes of this video I saw two cyclists and a wrong-way driver. No thank you.
I do like how the striping and arrows are all hard aligned, however. A very clean look.
ADD: I love the roundabout interchange at 12:07 on the video.
Only two cyclists and one wrong-way driver? They need to step it up to match the Durgapur Expressway levels!

Seriously. Just in my time driving in Mexico, I don't think I could count the number of wrong-way drivers I've seen on one hand. Heck,
I have been a wrong-way driver in Mexico before, although I used the dirt next to the roadway instead, because
it was a high-traffic location (https://maps.app.goo.gl/7o9XHkTQkufsDVmR9).

That's about par for Chicago expressways. And yes, I've even encountered a wrong-way bicyclist on the Ike (I-290), who was lane splitting.

Soon to be lane splatting?

No idea what happened to the guy. It was election day, 2020, and he was heading west, shirtless, in the eastbound lanes somewhere near Laramie. I was shocked enough that I forgot to pull out my phone and snap a photo.
This might be the longest eight lane expressway in the world. The entire Delhi - Mumbai route is built with 4+4 lanes (1,350 kilometers).
However China is busy upgrading major corridors in East China to eight lanes as well, but I don't think they have eight lanes over more than 1,000 kilometers yet.
