Ashghal Engineer Clarifies School Speed Limit
Engineer Abdelallah Al Maraghi, a Road Safety Engineer at the Public Works Authority (Ashghal), explained that setting the speed limit around school areas to 30 km/h aims to enhance student and pedestrian safety and reduce accidents. This measure includes establishing dedicated lanes for vehicles and pedestrians, installing speed bumps and surveillance cameras, and designating safe parking spots for children. He emphasized that a speed of 30 km/h gives drivers more time to respond, thereby decreasing the risk of accidents—especially in areas where children are present. He called on drivers to adhere to safety guidelines, avoid using mobile phones while driving, and cooperate with relevant authorities to raise awareness and create a safer school environment.
