SociE[umlaut]tE[umlaut] GE[umlaut]nE[umlaut]rale de Banque-Jordanie
partners with Hikmat Road Safety for road safety improvements on the
beginning of Mecca Street, which is considered to be one of the most
congested and potentially dangerous streets in Amman.
The improvements on the street will include the construction and
installation of a pedestrian bridge towards the beginning of the street,
as well as railings along the median to encourage pedestrians to use the
bridge. Work is expected to start next at the end of December and is
expected to conclude in mid January. The design, implementation and
infrastructure of the pedestrian bridge and railings are prepared by the
Greater Amman Municipality, who played an essential role in the whole
process.
"We at SGBJ are strong believers and supporters of the road
safety issue, which is facing the Jordanian society at large. We believe
that this is a critical matter and no effort should be spared towards
solving it, said Mr Ali Kooli, SGBJ's General Manager.
Mr. Kooli added: "our support through Hikmat Road Safety is an
approach to assist the decrease in number of the killed and seriously
injured by road accidents and we hope to make a difference in our chosen
street".
"We're looking forward to start our work with the support
of SGBJ on Mecca Street. The pedestrian bridge that is to be placed
towards the beginning of the street will be of great benefit to the
people who live and work in the area as it is a safer option for
pedestrian to move from one area of the street to another, without
fearing or maneuvering high traffic." Said Mr Maher Kaddoura,
Founder of Hikmat Road Safety. We strongly believe that this is yet
another constructive step towards reducing the number of potential
accidents and increase road safety in Jordan.
SociE[umlaut]tE[umlaut] GE[umlaut]nE[umlaut]rale de Banque-Jordanie
continously works on contibuting to the local society, and is keen on
placing its efforts towards solving the road safety issue in Jordan
alongside Hikmat Road Safety.
