Saudi Road Code Now Supports Safe Autonomous Vehicles Integration
Saudi Arabia's Roads General Authority has unveiled that the Saudi Road Code is currently featuring advanced infrastructure standards to ensure the safe integration of autonomous vehicles across the Kingdom, according to Saudi Gazette. Now, self-driving vehicles can professionally operate under various conditions as the new update included requirements for road design and construction. Crucially, the authority has developed pavement layers to handle the repetitive routing patterns of autonomous vehicles and installed real-time communication systems along roadways to transmit critical data to vehicles. In order to promote traffic flow, parking areas now features automated guidance and self-parking capabilities. The adoption of these vehicles fosters the level of traffic safety on the roads, promotes the quality of life, and fulfills economic efficiency and sustainability in the road network. The code serves as a comprehensive technical guide for all road authorities in Saudi Arabia, including ministries, urban development authorities, regional secretariats, and city and governorate municipalities. Interestingly, the code provides stockholders with comprehensive procedural guides and evaluation tools to ensure that road projects meet the required standards of safety, sustainability, and economic efficiency. It will enable these entities to access the necessary information to plan, design, implement, operate, and maintain roads of all types across the Kingdom. The authority has previously introduced Saudi Road Code as a voluntary framework. However, it became mandatory on public sector entities at the beginning of this year. Meanwhile, the private sector is set to officially adopt the code mid-2025.
