Video added below on Oct. 23rd, 2008
I have been told that nearly 12 deaths occur on roads throughout the Kingdom daily. Sounds high.The police have been very visible as of late; pulling over violators in their unmarked cars.
This sign was previously Crown Prince Abdullah Road. Interesting seeing history develop right before your own eyes.
Do you know what a round about is? If you know the origins of these can you please share with us. Click comments and leave a note explaining the origins of this traffic design.
The soccer (futbol) fields (pitches) are difficult to make out in this video. But trust me they are there. (my British translation) :)
There are actually more soccer fields than I stated, more like 15 to 18 in this one lot and more down the street. The youth come out and play after asr prayer (early evening) until maghrib (sunset).
