Traffic Management Operations Room officer, Captain Mosaab Al-Marayat, warned on Sunday of the dangers of sudden lane changes, especially at high speeds, due to the potential for collisions with adjacent or rear vehicles and traffic disruption.
Amman's entrances saw heavy traffic on Sunday morning from the governorates coinciding with the peak morning traffic, while Traffic Management dealt with the traffic at entrances, intersections, exits, tunnels, and bridges.
Al-Marayat said that the four entrances and exits of the capital are under field monitoring, with some traffic lights given priority to clear traffic and remove abandoned or obstructive vehicles.
He added that traffic congestion is concentrated at the exit of Prince Hussein Bridge towards Al-Multaqat Tunnel and the Seventh branches, on the Airport Road and the Sahaba area, while traffic shows relief after Al-Manasir area towards Al-Multaqat, reaching King Abdullah II Street and Sweileh.
He pointed out that traffic is being monitored on Zahran Street, Interior Circle, Sports City, Abdoun, and Al-Waha Circle, with Traffic Management groups, patrols, and bicycles deployed to deal with any obstacles or traffic congestion.
He continued that Traffic Management uses surveillance cameras and GPS to monitor traffic, especially around universities, schools, and public vehicle gatherings, and sends patrols to areas with congestion.
Al-Marayat called on drivers when changing lanes to ensure the lane and blind spots are clear, and to use the traffic light, explaining that turning on the turn signal does not automatically grant priority, and that the transition must be gradual while adhering to the road speed.
He also urged drivers to avoid distractions and stick to the correct lane, noting that observations and traffic violations can be reported via the 'Sind' app to take the necessary legal action.
