The scene of a person dodging speeding cars and blindly dashing from one side of the road to the other is a common sight in Saudi Arabia. After reducing traffic signals on the Kingdom roads to enhance the flow of traffic, it has become extremely unsafe for pedestrians to cross roads. There is growing public demand to install speed breakers, walkover bridges, or a pedestrian crossing on the road. Regular users of the road and residents of nearby areas are facing difficulty while trying to cross the road. People jaywalking along with small children and having conversations on the mobile phone also increases the numbers of accident. The Kingdom's transport authority must analyze this phenomenon and take measures on the growing demand on the call to install pedestrian bridges or walkovers across the Kingdom roads or at least at popular landmarks or busy market in the city to avoid accidents. The authority should also publish traffic safety awareness leaflets for the public to highlight the importance of pedestrian crossings and the role of pedestrians and motorists Kalimullah N.
