Amman congestion impacts transportation
The capital city of Amman is experiencing unprecedented traffic congestion due to the accumulation of a large number of registered vehicles within the city. Approximately 60 to 70% of all vehicles in the kingdom are moving daily within the city, exacerbating traffic crises. In response, the Greater Amman Municipality has adopted an expansionary strategy for public transportation services to reduce reliance on private vehicles, including increasing the number of buses and developing infrastructure. The city has also made efforts to improve traffic flow through projects such as the development of Jameel Qatouqa Street and initiatives for parking management that utilize timed intervals with fees to ensure vehicle circulation. The municipality emphasized that engineering solutions like bridges and tunnels are not always effective, and that behaviors related to random parking present the greatest obstacle to improving movement. They are monitoring the situation closely and maintaining flexibility in adjusting procedures to ensure the safety of pedestrians and drivers.
