KUWAIT CITY, April 30: The General Traffic Department said with the employees returning to work and school students returning to their schools after the Eid al-Fitr holiday, vehicular traffic movement on most roads was normal except for some main roads where traffic moved at snail’s pace, reports Al-Rai daily. The GTD sources said “with the start of the first real shift for school students after the vacation and the employees’ 100 percent attendance commitment all the country’s roads witnessed ease in traffic movement, except for a slight paralysis in some main roads, including the Maghreb Expressway and the King Fahd Road in the direction of the Capital city, Fahaheel Road, and Al-Ghazali Road, otherwise the traffic was normal and smooth.

The GTD said this is due to the flexible working hours in government offices and giving employees in some institutions the freedom to choose the time that suits them, which greatly contributed to the decrease in the number of vehicles on the roads, unlike what happened in the past where highways bore the brunt of traffic movement.
