How do you cross highways?
Due to these issues, pedestrian bridges are strongly recommended to cross highways. However, it is also a fact that there are minimal pedestrian bridges on Saudi roads.
The government is working on making the roads more walk-friendly for the people living in Saudi Arabia and constructing more pedestrian bridges.
The much awaited bridge was opened last week! Pedestrian Bridge on "Sabeen Street" (Prince Majed Street) Opposite to Flamingo Mall in Aziziyah, Jeddah. #Jeddah #JeddahCity #jeddahlife #Aziziyah#سبعين #جدة #العزيزية #مدينة_جدة
