First THING First!!! Before those Bottleneck problems, I think TRAFFIC VIOLATORS SHOULD BE APPREHENDED and TRAFFIC POLICE Should be VERY Visible.

In the Philippines, theres a lot traffic violators but unlike here, they will just stop at the corner to buy at any small grocery stores, esp in the area of Matar Qadeem. They will just stop regardless which side of the road they are.

As far as I know, in Dubai regardless of your a local or not, as long as you commit a traffic violation you will be apprehended.

That should be implemented HERE!!!! NO EXEMPTION!!!

I was wondering, before you can have a drivers license, you have to undergo schooling and Police exam but why is it that when they got a license, they dont know where and when or shall we say all driving lessons she/he learned? are GONE!!!

Urgent requirement

get rid of the roundabouts (meant for lower density of traffic). Signals at the roundabouts are just chaotic.

Plan for flyovers - one mainly at the Ramada Junction.

Increase the width of Salwa Road (number of lanes to 4 atleast). Same with road leading to Industrial area (Waqod petrol stations).Have a parallel road to this raod which might go through the mowasalat office. (might be called the F rind Road).

Most importantly have and ensure Ashghal start and finish projects on time.I have never seen such an inefficient Public Works Authority (sorry to say that)- if at all they blame the contractors put in a penalty clause in the contracts.Ensure accountability on all projects.

All the best - cause its easy to say and more difficult to implement.

Remove all Roundabouts and replace it of Signal Lights...on the major roads (junction) build flyovers or tunnels...

build more huge roads specially to those places that soon to be a commercial center of Doha/Qatar.

...and lessen and make harder the obtaining of driving license and or owning cars...
