Project management, engineering and consultancy service provider 6132 Royal HaskoningDHV has been selected to tackle 30 major traffic bottlenecks in the Saudi Arabian capital Riyadh over the next two years. ArRiyadh Development Authority (ADA) awarded the US$1.84 million contract to DHV following a call for tenders.

The growth of car traffic in Riyadh has meant that the road infrastructure is reaching the limits of its capacity, so, in consultation with the city's traffic police, DHV will map the existing traffic flows based on an extensive monitoring programme. The company will then identify the main bottlenecks together with various stakeholders. Problems which can be quickly resolved will be tackled immediately, while DHV will work out two or three possible solutions for more complex bottlenecks. The project will involve collaboration between experts from various disciplines, including traffic engineers, traffic safety experts, road designers, and experts in ITS.
