TO offer safety specifications and control traffic jams and traffic diversions, two guidelines will be applied soon in the future projects.
The two manuals are Qatar Roads design and Traffic Control, and will be implemented by the Ministry of Transportation.
All the new projects will be implemented according to the standards of the manuals, said speakers in a symposium organised by the Traffic department at Darb El Saai on the sidelines of the GCC Traffic Week.
The symposium is organised under the title “Infrastructure and its role in the traffic jam”.
Due to unprecedented economic growth, the work continues 24 hours at all construction projects except in residential areas.
“The two manuals are updated to include everything according to the development requirements. The old standards do not anymore meet with economic boom that Qatar is witnessing”, said Rashid Taleb Al Nabet, Assistant Undersecretary at the Ministry of Transport and Communications while addressing the symposium.
The Qatar Traffic Control Manual (QTCM) includes guidelines and principles that dictate the design and application of traffic control devices.
The participants stressed on the efforts made by traffic department especially with ongoing infrastructure projects and the department role which contribute to curb traffic jam and all other problem in this regard.
