Proposal Approved to Monitor Delivery Bikes in Residential Areas

Southern Municipal Council member Mohammed Hussain Darraj, representing the Fourth Constituency, has submitted a proposal requiring delivery companies to install GPS tracking devices on motorcycles used for deliveries. These devices would enable authorities to monitor both the location and speed of the vehicles, particularly within residential neighborhoods.

The initiative comes in response to growing concerns from residents over the excessive speed at which delivery motorcycles often travel, posing serious safety risks—especially to children.

The proposal was approved by the Southern Municipal Council and has been forwarded to the Minister of Municipalities and Agriculture Affairs. The council is seeking coordination with the Ministry of Interior to implement the measure.

Darraj emphasized that the aim is to ensure community safety and reduce the number of accidents caused by reckless driving in densely populated areas.
