Al Majd Road, opened by Prime Minister and Minister of Interior HE Sheikh Abdullah bin Nasser bin Khalifa al Thani on Thursday, will serve as a vital link across Qatar flowing from south of the country to north and east.
Al Majd provides seven lanes of free-flow dual carriageway from Mesaieed to Al Khor, accommodating over 14,000 vehicles per hour in each direction.
This is considered one of the safest roads in Qatar owing to its unique and international standard design, which strategically provides two dedicated truck lanes and five light vehicle lanes to significantly reduce accident risks.
The truck routes will provide free flow traffic movement for the transportation of commercial and industrial goods from and to key hubs across the country.
Al Majd Road provides efficient traffic movement, which will be a key contributing factor to reducing travel time up to 50 per cent compared to the required time for the same trip via other existing roads.
