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.

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 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.
