The odd part

A flyover that doubles as an ice-skating rink to ensure no commuter ever gets too comfortable.

What happened

The newly inaugurated Palava flyover has officially been designated a 'skidding zone' after 450 meters of its surface began disintegrating just days after the launch. Authorities claim the rough, damaged texture is actually a safety feature designed to test the suspension and reflexes of unsuspecting taxpayers. It is part of the 'Adventure Commuting' initiative where reaching work is now considered an extreme sport.
