On the effects of the effects of these projects on the roads and movement, and the neighboring population, the Royal Commission for the city of Riyadh has developed an integrated plan to manage traffic transfers on the roads that will witness the implementation of projects, in partnership with the relevant agencies in the city of Riyadh, with the aim of achieving the largest amount of flow in traffic during The implementation period.
The “Road and Strong Roads Development Program in Riyadh”, God willing, will contribute to keeping pace with the increasing population growth of the city, enhancing the connection of its parts, improving traffic, raising the average movement speed, reducing the time of mobility on the road network, absorbing transnational transportation to the city, and facilitating access to The destinations that witness the implementation of major qualitative projects. It is expected that the duration of the implementation of the “Second Group” projects from the program will take 3 years from the date of the start of implementation.
