Traffic congestion in the capital Baghdad

Shabir Abdul Wahab

Baghdad city suffers from daily traffic congestion, which has become a worsening problem with negative effects on social life and daily activities. Most of the main roads and intersections suffer from traffic operation failure and high delay times, sometimes leading to a state of complete paralysis. The problem is not limited to peak morning and evening hours but has become continuous throughout the day, lasting up to 15 hours from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM and even extending to 11:00 PM in some areas.
