The General Directorate of Traffic has reported a concerning rise in traffic incidents across the country, with over 2,700 incidents occurring in the past six months. These incidents have resulted in more than 1,200 fatalities and 4,000 injuries.<\/h5>\n

Kabul 24<\/strong><\/a>: Officials attribute the increase in traffic incidents to several factors, including:<\/p>\n

Non-compliance with traffic laws<\/p>\n

Excessive speeding<\/p>\n

Driving by underage individuals<\/p>\n

Abdul Wadood Khairkhwah, director of Planning and Policy at the Kabul Traffic Directorate, provided a breakdown of the casualties: “Approximately 700 men, 103 women, and 377 children have also died, with a total of 1,200 fatalities.”<\/p>\n

Drivers’ Perspectives<\/h5>\n

Many drivers believe that urban congestion, lack of standard roads, and some drivers operating without licenses are contributing to the rise in traffic incidents.<\/p>\n

Murtaza, a driver, commented: “Many young people are on the roads; they do not know the traffic laws properly, and that is why accidents happen.”<\/p>\n

Nangialai, another driver, said: “Some drivers neither have a license nor are of legal age. The government should pay attention to this.”<\/p>\n

Proposed Solutions<\/h5>\n

Residents have called for the government to take action to reduce traffic incidents. Mohammad Mansour, a Kabul<\/a> resident, said: “Our demand from the government is that those without licenses should not be allowed to operate within the city, and also, the congestion in the cities should be reduced.”<\/p>\n

Previously, the General Directorate of Traffic Police had announced plans to implement an electronic management system on five major highways that have seen the most traffic incidents.<\/p>\n
