Some are complaining about speed breakers (humps) on roads across the country. They are asking if there are any standards followed in their construction because of a lack of uniformity in their sizes.
 
People say some complaints appearing in the local media are just personal complaints which have nothing do with public good, and readers must understand this.
 
Residents have urged the Municipality/Ashghal to make main commercial streets in different cities in Qatar.
