Drivers to abide to 30 km /h speed limits around schools

04 Sep 2018

The General Directorate of Traffic started a new campaign entitled "Back to School". The campaign aims at visiting primary schools to educate children about traffic safety and its requirements.

This General Directorate of Traffic, in coordination with the Ministry of Education, conducts visits to primary schools and talk with them about the behaviors that must be followed and avoided to maintain their safety of traffic.

Colonel Mohammed Al-Hajri pointed out that the decision of the Ministry of Education to change the school leaving time was positive and has led to a reduction in traffic congestion and facilitate the traffic around schools and roads with high population.

In cooperation with the Public Works Authority "Ashghal", signs have been implemented in the roads around the schools. Moreover, the speed of these roads has been set to 30 km / h and drivers must adhere to the speed limits. In addition, bumps and pedestrian crossing signs were placed next to schools to minimize the risk of traffic accidents.

During their visit to the schools, they gave many tips for students, talked about the importance of traffic lights in organizing traffic and congratulated them on the new school year, wishing them safety. Finally, they distributed gifts to all students.

Perfect car for you in Qatar

Choosing the perfect car for you in Qatar, either new or used, is not as difficult as you might imagine, but it will take some time to make your selection. A wide variety of cars can be found in Qatar, from tiny hatchbacks to massive SUVs, from older models to newly released, top-of-the-line automobiles. Some individuals may prefer the illusion of safety that a slightly larger 4x4 provides, as well as the days of dune bashing and desert driving that such a car allows.
