For the third day in a row, traffic jams continued on most of the main and ring roads and most of the inner streets, throughout the daylight hours, but the traffic jam increased two hours before the start of the partial curfew at 5 pm, Al Qabas reported.

It seems that the traffic jam crisis will continue until the end of the curfew period, with no possible solution in sight.

Traffic sources told Al-Qabas: The coincidence of entry and exit times for employees in the government and private sectors, and everyone’s keenness to reach homes before the curfew takes effect, is the main reason for the traffic jams on the country’s roads, pointing out that the streets are unable to withstand the huge number of vehicles. At one time, not to mention, there are many waiting expats lined up for public transport and taxis to go home in time to avoid facing the consequences of being in breach of the curfew as authorities are on full alert./agencies
