Strategies Forum: 1.5B Dinars Cost from Traffic in Amman
The Jordan Strategy Forum report highlights the traffic congestion problem in Amman, which is considered the second most significant challenge after unemployment. The analysis focuses on the causes of congestion, including the concentration of economic and administrative activities within a limited area, and the increase in vehicle numbers, reaching 2.12 million by 2025, with an annual compound growth rate of 3.8%. Congestion causes delays of up to 40 minutes on a 12 km trip, with estimated annual losses of around 1.5 billion dinars, and leads to significant overcrowding during working hours and peak times. The report proposes implementing a series of short- and long-term interventions, including adjusting working hours, improving traffic management, and developing public transportation, aimed at reducing road demand and enhancing traffic flow in the capital.
