Moroccan highway authority advises drivers ahead of busy Eid al-Adha period
On the eve of Eid al-Adha, the National Motorway Company of Morocco (ADM) is informing highway users that the entire motorway network is expected to experience a significant increase in traffic. In light of this, ADM is offering a series of recommendations to help ensure a safe and comfortable journey.
In a statement, ADM anticipates particularly heavy traffic during the following periods: Thursday and Friday, June 5 and 6, between 3 p.m. and 10 p.m., and Monday, June 9, between 4 p.m. and 10 p.m., coinciding with the return phase of the holiday.
To ensure smooth travel, ADM encourages users to plan their trips in advance, check real-time traffic conditions via the ADM TRAFIC app, and verify their Jawaz Pass balance—topping it up beforehand if necessary. Recharging can be done through the new Jawaz mobile app, which complements existing physical and digital platforms. Jawaz is also available for purchase and top-up at shops located in motorway service areas.
ADM further advises drivers to stay alert to weather warnings and remain cautious in the event of wind, rain, or fog. Motorists are urged to take breaks every two hours, check the mechanical condition of their vehicles—particularly tire pressure—and avoid using the emergency lane unless in cases of absolute necessity.
To manage the anticipated surge in traffic and ensure a safe and pleasant journey for all users, ADM states that it has adopted a heightened state of vigilance, as it does during exceptional travel periods. This includes reinforcing teams responsible for traffic management and roadside assistance, conducting preventative maintenance on infrastructure and equipment, improving user communication, and coordinating closely with all stakeholders across the motorway network.
