Severe Traffic Congestion Paralyzes Movement on Major Streets in the Capital, Baghdad

The capital, Baghdad, experienced severe traffic congestion during the morning peak hours, resulting in significantly slowed vehicle movement and delays for employees and students reaching their destinations. The heavy traffic was concentrated on the capital's main arteries, including vital highways, central intersections, and the majority of bridges connecting the city's two halves. This high traffic density reflects ongoing infrastructure challenges within the public transportation sector, prompting calls for engineering and planning solutions to address the traffic crisis that impacts customary daily and economic activities in the capital.
