Khaberni - Assistant Director of Public Security for Traffic Affairs, Brigadier Mohand Al-Batayneh, said on Wednesday, that the traffic crisis in the capital constitutes a source of concern for the citizen, indicating that it has several key factors including infrastructure and urban planning, in addition to the significant increase in the number of vehicles.
Al-Batayneh stated during a meeting for the Administrative Committee in the House of Notables chaired by Tawfiq Kreishan, and attended by the Director of Traffic Management, Brigadier Raed Al-Assaf, and the Executive Director of Traffic at the Greater Amman Municipality, Engineer Mohamed Jaddoua, that the number of vehicles registered in the capital exceeds 1.7 million, which puts increasing pressure on the road network.
He pointed out that the Public Security Directorate, as a law enforcement body, works within an integrated system with various ministries and institutions to find sustainable solutions to these challenges.
He noted that the Public Security Directorate has introduced modern technologies and smart solutions based on artificial intelligence to manage traffic movement and address bottlenecks, confirming the mobilization of all available resources to reduce traffic accidents and improve the flow of movement.
Al-Batayneh emphasized the importance of promoting the culture of using public transport, and expanding the distribution of health, development, and service facilities across various governorates of the kingdom, which contributes to alleviating traffic pressure on the capital and reducing the centralization of services.
