Director of Traffic Culture, Salah Shehab asserted that spreading the culture of law obedience was part of the traffic strategy to reduce traffic accidents by avoiding irresponsible driving practices, along with the focus on modern systems and e-services. He highlighted the awareness strategy of the department in the coming phase would focus on cooperation and coordination with all sectors and reaching out to all targeted groups to improve traffic knowledge and promote traffic safety.
