Traffic Jam Crisis Caused by Inadequate Roads Not Police Performance

Traffic Jam Crisis Caused by Inadequate Roads Not Police Performance

Interior Minister Ziad Baroud on Tuesday said that "everyone is suffering from the choking traffic jam especially nowadays during the holidays season."

Baroud told LBC TV network: "Traffic jam crisis is caused by roads, and traffic police have nothing to do with it."

"I take responsibility for any inadequacy by the interior ministry," added Baroud.

Baroud added that Lebanon needs a new traffic plan, and it would not have had to face a crisis now if a Planning Ministry had been established during the sixties of last century.
