Speaking to Al-Mamlaka TV, Al-Marayat said traffic was particularly heavy at several entrances to the capital, most notably King Abdullah II Street, Airport Road and Al-Shaheed Street. He noted that traffic patrols are continuously working to ease congestion, clear traffic bottlenecks and prioritize the busiest lanes to maintain smooth traffic flow on main roads.
He explained that the traffic plan covers the capital's entrances from the Safout Tunnel towards King Abdullah II Street, Khalda and the King Hussein Medical City, as well as Airport Road towards Prince Hussein Bridge, Al-Multaqa Tunnel and the Seventh Circle. Traffic patrols and officers are working to regulate traffic in both directions and address congestion as it arises.
Al-Marayat added that traffic teams are also monitoring conditions around Sports City Circle and Interior Circle, King Rania Street towards Al-Sahafa Tunnel and King Aliya Street, as well as University of Jordan Street, Al-Madina Al-Munawwara Street, Al-Waha Tunnel and the surrounding roads leading to Al-Waha Circle.
He also highlighted ongoing traffic monitoring along Zahran Street, particularly at the Fourth Circle Tunnel towards the Third Circle, as well as at the capital's entrances from the Suweileh District and Zarqa Governorate, including the Al-Mashaghel exit towards Al-Shaheed Street. He stressed that field patrols and traffic officers remain deployed to regulate traffic and prevent disruptions.
Al-Marayat said the Traffic Department's operations room uses GPS technology to monitor traffic around schools, universities and commercial complexes. If any disruption is detected, a traffic officer equipped with a body camera is dispatched to the location to assess the situation on the ground. A traffic recovery vehicle is also sent when necessary to remove obstacles and speed up the response.
He urged drivers to remain in their designated lanes, avoid improper lane use, observe traffic rules and right-of-way regulations, and avoid distractions while driving. He also emphasized the importance of cooperating with traffic officers and following their instructions to reduce accidents and improve road safety.
Drivers can report traffic concerns and observations through the Sanad application or by calling the unified emergency number 911, allowing the Traffic Department to follow up and take the necessary action.
Al-Marayat's remarks coincided with the World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims.
He stressed the importance of remembering those who have lost their lives or sustained injuries in road accidents and renewing the commitment to road safety, emphasizing that protecting all road users is a shared responsibility that requires compliance with traffic rules and right-of-way regulations.
