Northern Ghor residents request road lighting

Citizens in the Northern Ghor District are calling for the implementation of a lighting project along the international road extending from Al-Shouna North to the Wadi Jordan crossing. They emphasize that there is heavy traffic around the clock, including farmers, trucks, and buses, and that this road serves as a main gateway connecting the kingdom to border crossings. They also note that the absence of lighting increases the danger of nighttime driving, especially given the presence of intersections and agricultural entrances, which puts drivers at a higher risk of accidents. This road is considered a vital economic and touristic artery, and installing lighting would enhance traffic safety and reduce accidents—particularly since the road supports the agricultural sector and sees active daily traffic, in addition to its importance for religious and historical tourism. Officials confirm that the need for lighting has been identified as an important project by the Directorate, and the Ministry of Public Works has placed it on the priority list for the upcoming year, as part of efforts to improve safety on this vital route due to its economic, commercial, and touristic significance.
