Traffic Congestion Disrupts Summer in Tangier
During the peak summer season, Tangier has been grappling with unprecedented levels of traffic congestion, leading to significant frustration among residents and drivers alike. This situation has been exacerbated by the return of Moroccan expatriates, resulting in streets and avenues—both in the city center and in popular neighborhoods—becoming choked with parked vehicles. A recent field report highlighted widespread discontent among the local populace as they expressed their grievances about the dire state of traffic conditions. Many cited reckless driving, impatience, and a blatant disregard for traffic lights and signs as the primary culprits behind the chaos. Furthermore, even minor accidents have been known to cause complete gridlock, leaving many commuters stranded.
In light of these challenges, citizens are calling upon the relevant authorities to temporarily suspend the automated traffic light management system, which has proven ineffective during peak hours. They are advocating for a significant increase in the presence of traffic police to facilitate better organization of roundabouts and enhance traffic flow. The urgency of these measures is underscored by the pressing need for a more efficient traffic management system that can adapt to the fluctuating demands of the summer influx.
