There is an interesting article in the GT today:-

http://www.gulf-times.com/site/topics/article.asp?cu_no=2&item_no=471907...

Qatar, which has 7,790km of road and traffic density of 78 motor vehicles per kilometre of road, has an estimated $3.8bn worth of ongoing road projects at the end of June 30, 2011, according to Kuwait Financial Centre (Markaz).
Qatar’s $3.8bn worth projects comprises 22% of the total GCC road projects valued at $18bn, Markaz said in a latest report.

The roadworks are driving me mad!! But when I read a report like this, it makes it clear to me that with this much investment Qatar is really trying hard to overcome the current and forthcoming traffic problems. No pain no gain, so I am going to stop moaning about the roadworks (for the moment).
