Authorities in Aden are to announce through the Provincial Council a tender for the purchase of automatic radars to monitor traffic on long highways in the province, the Aden Traffic Authority has said. The move aims to restrict high speed crashes on long roads particularly at the sea line linking the districts of Sheikh Othman and Khour Maksar as well as Taiz-Aden road and al-Buraikah highway. Director of the authority Adel Yusuf Tahir said the authority has been implementing the measure since May 2008 with hand radios and now it aims to use radars. He affirmed the measure reduced traffic accidents by 90%
