Please don't get the local or current contractors to assist in this design: the current road system is horribly designed. You need to get contractors from who have North American experience: who designs a highway with no conveniently placed roads to access gas stations or other areas. For example, why does one have to drive a Kilometer down the highway passing a gasoline station and then turn off to drive back to get some gas. Moreover, when one exits the gas station they have to drive in another direction to get back to where they were going....convoluted?! Yes! Let's look at Aspire; only a limited number of roads to access the mall and to exit......it will be a great driving catastrophe and nightmare when FiFA is hosted. It already is a nightmare. Most of the roads in Qatar were designed by "fourth" world engineers with no foresight or experience with modern road systems to ensure efficient and safe driving. Let me give you another example of the horrendous design: Sports City road underwent construction and Traffic lights were put up; however, why, for the Love of God, would one make the the road from Ammar Bin Yasser NOT connect through to Al Jassasiya Street?! It makes absolutely no sense!!! The number of traffic lights posted on street corners is a waste of money and the signage is terrible in their placements and lack of on Traffic Lights to assist in location. The roads are beautiful but with no sense in their design; Ashgal states that Qatar deserves the best, but I am not seeing this. They need to hire contractors who have experience with North American road systems.
