According to the post, Hyderabad’s ORR features eight lanes, smooth surfaces, and clearly marked lanes, while Bengaluru’s ORR has no proper lane markings, uneven surfaces, and potholes.

Social media reactions
''You can compare the roads of the gachibowli & FD with ORR of BLR. ( i agree still BLR roads are in bad shape) Not the ORR to ORR. See the areas under the sections. History of the both cities is different . Hyderabad has more residential area because of twin cities,''a user wrote.
''Hyderbad ORR is probably one of the most well planned and maintained expressways in the entire country. It sets the bar too high. Imagine a perfect loop around the city, which is 200 KMs long, with around 20 exists and 120 kmph speed limit. It’s hard to match this,''another commented.
''In Bangalore, Only the name is outer .. nothing outer about it anymore ..it was outer 15 yrs ago,'' a third user wrote.
