These projects aim to improve road safety, meet growing traffic, and contribute to sustainable development. The author ity is committed to implementing vital projects and initiatives to achieve the objectives of the Roads Sector Strategy, including reducing road deaths to less than five cases per 100,000 people, implementing traffic safety factors according to IRAP standards, and maintaining advanced service levels for the road network. By focusing on safety, quality, and traffic relief, the roads authority aims to transform this part of Saudi Arabia's infrastructure and boost its global standing. Source: Saudi Press Agency
