Project Details

Narrative Description of Project:
The main objectives of the study are:
 Study the existing traffic and travel characteristics of the Sana’a Urban area.
 Project transport demand for the next 20 years up to 2024
 Identify the nature and magnitude of present and anticipated future transport problems in the study area. Special attention should be paid to congestion safety and environmental issues.
