The Roads General Authority (GAE) clarified that the Saudi Highway Code has established unified standards for designing wildlife and camel crossings to enhance safety. These standards are part of broader efforts to improve the quality of life and ensure safety and efficiency in the road network. According to the GAE, the code specifies technical requirements for designing crossings, such as ensuring they are wide enough, providing natural light in underpasses, and using fencing to guide animals. It also mandates protection for animals in overpasses. The GAE is responsible for supervising and regulating the roads sector. The code will become mandatory for government entities early next year and for private entities in the middle of the year, aiming to achieve strategic objectives for safety, quality, and traffic density, with the goal of reaching a global ranking of sixth in road quality by Source: Saudi Press Agency
