- The concerned authorities in the system of the Ministerial Committee for Traffic Safety and the traffic safety committees in the Kingdom and the regions are working to reduce serious traffic accidents by implementing engineering improvements on the main and highway roads, providing them with safety requirements, strengthening traffic control and control on all roads with modern technologies, and launching organized campaigns to deal with violations.
