AMMAN — The legal committee in the
House of Representatives will start its first meetings on Sunday to discuss the amended draft of the

The new traffic law aims to enhance traffic safety and
reduce accidents by imposing stricter penalties on violations that directly or
indirectly lead to loss of life. Additionally, it will tighten penalties for
repeat offenders of traffic safety rules, which
pose a risk to road users and
public and private properties.
Furthermore, the draft law proposes the formation of a
higher council for traffic safety responsible for setting traffic policies and
unifying various efforts related to traffic and transportation.
The purpose of the draft law is to keep up with the
significant increase in the number of vehicles and drivers, as well as the
technological developments that have occurred in
vehicle types, specifications,
and equipment. The law will also adopt electronic data for vehicles, drivers,
violations, surveillance, and accident plans.
