Doha, Qatar: The General Directorate of Traffic announced an integrated traffic plan for the new academic year 2024-2025, as part of its continuous efforts to reduce traffic accidents and achieve a safe traffic environment.

Speaking to Qatar News Agency (QNA), Traffic Media Officer at the General Directorate of Traffic Lt. Abdulmohsin Al Asmar Al Ruwaili said that the department has prepared an integrated plan to control traffic flow during the school year, as part of its keenness to ensure traffic safety in various areas of the country.

The plan aims to facilitate the movement of vehicles and reduce traffic congestion on main roads, around schools and the roads leading to them, by increasing patrols and traffic police, especially at intersections and around schools that experience traffic congestion, in order to ensure the safety of students and all road users, Lt. Al Ruwaili explained.

He added that road traffic is also monitored through the (Tala'a) cameras that transmit a live image of vehicle movement, allowing traffic police to intervene quickly in emergency situations.

He noted that the plans developed in previous years have contributed to the accumulation of experience for the department to develop a more comprehensive plan based on statistics and traffic data, thus contributing to reducing traffic accidents.
