الزحام المروري في منطقة الأعمال المركزية لمدينة السماوة : الأسباب و المعالجات

Abstract EN

The problem of traffic congestion is a deep problem that afflicts the big cities in the world in general and the cities of developing countries in particular, due to the growing numbers of people and vehicles without similar expansion of the streets that serve this rapid growth.

Hence the importance of the study in researching and analyzing the indicators of the traffic congestion problem within the central business district of the city of Samawah, and formulating realistic solutions to address it The study reached an understanding of the causes of traffic congestion within the region, the lack of windows in force to and from the area, the frequent abuses of street pavements by shop owners, the wrong parking of owners of vehicles and the lack of parking lots, and the overlap of automatic and human traffic, especially in the areas of crossings, as well as mismanagement The place and organizational errors, and the ignoring of those responsible for these errors and abuses, are all reasons that exacerbated the traffic congestion problem despite the fact that the city is not a major city whose population density qualifies it to face this type of problem The study suggests building some car parks in specific locations from the outskirts of the central business area, establishing pedestrian bridges at the main crossings to prevent automated traffic from interfering with human traffic, as well as regulating the movement of vehicles and parking spaces, and bypassing those on the street sidewalks, planning taxi parking areas and setting Traffic signs that suit the place in every detail
