4 years of being in Hyderabad I have understand that Hyderabad do not have traffic sense at all. Don't know if this is specific to Hyderabad or other cities also.
Auto are the Kings of Roads. They can stop anywhere in the middle of the road and expect you to anticipate that and apply brakes immediately
Never drive on the left side of auto. You never know when they may feel the urge to go to left side of the road.
People will cross the roads only when the traffic signal light for that lane is green and they expect you not to hit them.
Crossing the road is another hell because when you are about to cross there will an auto standing in front of you as if to kidnap you.
Every non metered auto will start quoting for 50 rs even if the distance may be less than half kilometer.
Footpaths in Hyderabad is an virtual concept, which only archaeology department can trace where the path lies. Every path is for vehicles. Pedestrians have to be careful for their own life while walking on so called footpath as vehicles from both direction will be coming.
No software programme can trace out the pattern of the auto driving, sorry not even Google
People waiting for city bus will scuttle in middle of the roads for catching the bus. They will come to the other side of the road if the bus is going from that side to avoid bus stand.
