Muscat faces traffic jams
The article addresses the problem of traffic congestion in Muscat, which causes psychological fatigue and significant time wastage. During peak hours, traffic can last up to seven hours daily on main roads, amounting to approximately 120 hours annually of lost productive time. Although international indicators suggest that Muscat is less congested than other Arab capitals, poor planning and the accumulation of cars on the roads create a different reality for citizens, especially with rapid population growth and urban expansion. The article proposes solutions such as improving shaded and cooled pedestrian networks, providing bike lanes, staggering work hours, encouraging the use of public transportation and small vehicles, and developing parking facilities to reduce density in vital areas. These measures aim to address the crisis before it worsens further.
