In an effort to streamline traffic flow and improve congestion within Doha city, new regulations have been implemented for trucks and large buses. Here’s a quick breakdown of the key points:
- Permits Required: Effective immediately, all trucks and large buses (with a capacity exceeding 25 passengers) require a permit to enter Doha city.
- Complete Ban on 22 February Street: There is a strict and permanent ban on all truck and large bus traffic on 22 February Street.
