Sadly, with all the construction going on to develop Qatar nobody seemed to plan for the well-being of the residents - pedestrians and motorists. Not enough pedestrian crossings, foot bridges, underground crossing, bus stands and walkways/sidewalks. I think the concerned people and agencies should have planned ahead, i mean waaaaay ahead if they'd not want to have bigger problems in the future. By the time these traffic signals are in place and all roads have radars and cams, they might have no use at all since the roads would be too crowded. I think we should be seeing flyovers instead of traffic signals being put up, road-widening to accomodate the increasing volume of vehicles and imposed number of parking slots rational to number of tenants on each and every building that is being constructed. In time that these buildings would come up, the roadside parking would not be enough. Then there will always be vehicles parked on sidewalks. The government should be doing overtime, the population reaching the Million mark is fast approaching.
