Saudi Road Code Boosts Autonomous Vehicle Readiness

The Saudi Road Code aims to enhance the readiness of the infrastructure for autonomous vehicles through standardized technical standards. These include installing communication devices on roadside shoulders, designing road layers according to specifications that allow the development of autonomous vehicle movement, and implementing clear, machine-readable traffic lines and signs to ensure the efficiency of autonomous driving systems under all weather conditions. The code also encompasses vehicle parking facilities equipped with smart sensor technologies and automatic parking systems. Its goal is to build a smarter road network that improves safety and efficiency, while standardizing technical guidelines across the Kingdom for the entire lifecycle of roads—from design to maintenance. The code assists relevant authorities in improving the quality of road projects and ensuring compliance with environmental and safety requirements, contributing to a reduction of over 60% in traffic fatalities in Saudi Arabia over nine years.
