Challenges

• Lack of good data and data collecting has many constraints
• Lack of Research on road users’ behaviors and setting planning

basing on the findings

• Research on correlations of economic status, social drinking,

driving and changes of lives

• Forwarding the ground problems to the decision makers &

supports from Leaders
