The General Authority for Roads has stated that the Saudi Road Code sets standardized criteria for designing parking spaces for people with disabilities. It aims to enhance safety and comfort for this group.
These criteria are part of ongoing efforts to enhance quality of life and achieve the highest levels of safety and efficiency in the road network.
The Saudi Road Code sets requirements for designing parking spaces for individuals with disabilities. These also include placing spaces close to building entrances and elevators, using clear signage and markings, adding ramps and good lighting on sidewalks, and providing access paths on both sides of the road. Moreover, these measures improve safety, quality of life, and comfort for people with disabilities.
The Saudi Road Code is a key technical reference for road-related entities in the Kingdom, offering guidelines for planning, designing, operating and maintaining roads. It also includes standards, drawings, procedures, and checklists to ensure quality across all road networks.
The Public Roads Authority is responsible for overseeing and regulating the road sector by formulating the necessary policies and legislation. This effort is directed towards achieving the strategic objectives of the road sector, emphasizing safety, quality, and traffic density. The ultimate goal is to attain the 6th position globally in road quality by 2030.
