The Council of Representatives is holding a session today, Sunday, dedicated to discussing the traffic law. The Parliamentary Security and Defense Committee has announced the completion of its discussions on the bill, with some remaining observations expected from council members
during upcoming readings. In an interview with the official newspaper, committee member Khalid Sido revealed that key amendments include setting the vehicle window tinting limit at 30 percent. The law also aims to strictly regulate traffic fines and prevent any exemptions
or favoritism regarding violations. Sido indicated that the new legislation would organize traffic operations and address violations according to their severity, especially those leading to accidents. Sido added that the law would incorporate provisions for technological advancements in traffic management, such
as using cameras and radars for recording violations. He emphasized that car accidents are very frequent, with their primary causes attributed to traffic violations. He clarified that the law would be strict against offenders, with fines imposed on those who run
red lights. Sido pointed out that the committee conducted extensive discussions on the law due to its significant importance and direct link to traffic flow and citizen safety. Sido also addressed the organization of the Traffic Directorate's operations, noting the importance
of traffic officers benefiting from the law, especially as their numbers approach 29,000 personnel, with 15,000 working directly on the streets. He further stated that there is a need to address some organizational matters within the traffic department, as individuals transferred
from local authorities face challenges. Therefore, the law will include regulations allocating a portion of fees collected to support traffic work and enhance its performance.
