Makkah: The Roads General Authority (RGA) has announced that over 3.7 million vehicles have crossed the roads leading to Makkah during the first ten days of Ramadan.
According to Saudi Press Agency, RGA attributed the increase in traffic to the large influx of Umrah pilgrims and visitors coming to perform the Umrah rituals during the holy month.
The authority stated that the vehicle crossings were managed through an integrated system of services it provides in cooperation with all relevant entities. This included significant improvements to the road network infrastructure and the application of the highest safety and quality standards.
