Key initiatives undertaken by the municipality include a primary focus on the completion of road maintenance and paving. This proactive approach ensures that the city's road infrastructure is adequately prepared for future planning and development, Jo24 reported.

Enhance accessibility for individuals with disabilities
In a bid to enhance accessibility for individuals with disabilities, Kofahi revealed that the municipality has forged an agreement with the Higher Council for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. This collaborative effort is designed to kickstart the implementation of specialized pathways, facilitating the mobility of individuals with disabilities. The initial phase of this project will center around areas in close proximity to Yarmouk University.

Furthermore, the municipality has meticulously devised plans for crucial intersections and designated pedestrian pathways, adhering to approved specifications. Currently, the municipality is in the process of soliciting bids for the planning of most major intersections and main thoroughfares within the city. These plans incorporate the use of hot-colored markings, aligning with higher standards and offering extended durability, in accordance with specifications outlined by the Ministry of Public Works for street painting.

To raise awareness and inform the public about the new traffic law's critical provisions, Dr. Al-Kofahi noted that the municipality has already initiated improvements to directional signs throughout the city.
