8 4 Traffic safety manual for the citizens of the Sultanate of Oman. Figure 3- a sign that shows the speed limit. At the roundabouts and junctions where the traffic is not organized, vehicles which actually entered the roundabout or junction, or which are coming from a main road, have the right of way. Drivers may not leave a vehicle on or besides the road without taking necessary Precaution, such as turning on caution lights. Drivers must not litter because it could cause a road hazard. Figure 4- an image showing littering. Drivers must allow emergency vehicles to pass. It is illegal to use sound or light warning devices similar to the emergency vehicles devices. On a narrow road, drivers should keep to the right side upon meeting a vehicle coming from the opposite direction. Slow moving vehicles must keep to the right of the road.
9 Chapter One 5 Figure 5- a sign that shows the slower drivers what road to take. Drivers must not overtake another vehicle from the right side unless the driver of the front vehicles gives a signal indicating his/her intention to change his/her lane to the left and the road permits the same. The vehicle, which comes from a side street, must allow the oncoming vehicles on the main road to pass. At the junction of equally important roads, coming vehicles from the right have the right of way. Drivers must not park at pedestrian crossings; on bridges and in tunnels; at the curves; in front of the entrances of the Royal palaces; entry and exit points of the vehicles parking areas, petrol stations, hospitals, schools, buses stations, firefighting centers, Police and Military areas; within 10 meters from the junctions and roundabout entrances.

17 Chapter three: Road traffic accidents solutions Many countries have developed advanced traffic communication systems that work to alert the drivers to the changes on the roads, giving them enough time to decide what road to take. Some of the solutions that Oman can use to address highway congestions are: Ramp metering- cars are only allowed to enter the highway at a specific timing. This system can be done by placing a reduction of 29.4 million hours annually, also it would decrease traffic accidents. Though ramp metering has its benefits, it usually takes a long time to implement and it requires investigations to make sure surface street traffic isn't affected as cars back up to enter the highway. Figure 10 an image that shows ramp metering on a road. High-occupancy vehicle lanes (HOV) - HOV lanes are for cars with usually more than two people per car. Drivers will be encouraged to carpool, which will reduce the total number of cars on the highway. Some HOV lanes have exclusive off-ramps, reducing the need to merge with other traffic.
18 Traffic safety manual for the citizens of the Sultanate of Oman. Figure 11 an image that shows HOV lanes on a road. Adding lanes - a common solution for congestion problems is to add lanes to the highway. It is done by either widening the road, decreasing the width of existing lanes or converting a shoulder or other space into a lane. These adjustments and constructions are expensive, time consuming and controversial, but it is still considered as a solution. Figure 12 an image that shows adding a lane to the road.
