In a move to promote non-motorized transportation and micro-mobility options, all new road project designs will now include pedestrian and cycling tracks, according to a top official. Saleh Saeed Al Marri, Acting Director of the Land Transport Network Planning Department at the Ministry of Transport (MoT), announced this initiative in a recent interview with Al Rayan TV.

"All road project designs are being made taking into consideration pedestrian and cycling tracks. So, all new designs which are being implemented will have these two tracks," said Al Marri.

The Ministry of Transport has also conducted a survey among cyclists to enhance the integration of cycling tracks with intersections and to provide better access to other modes of transportation. This effort underscores the Ministry's commitment to fostering sustainable and accessible transportation options for all residents.
