The major roundabouts around Muscat are in for a makeover; slowly, but steadily, they will be replaced with traffic light junctions. For me, the worst roundabout in terms of traffic congestion and related accidents is the Darsait one. Try traveling in peak times, and chances are more that you will spend a cool 15 minutes just waiting for your turn to cross the roundabout. Add to this monster-looking trucks coming from Muthrah port and Ruwi roundabout areas. Imagine the chaos, phew!
A report says:
Muscat municipality has floated tender to convert Darsait roundabout and another roundabout near Sports Ministry into 4-way junctions with traffic lights. New plans are underway to build a road directly from Qurum-Darsait highway through Darsait area to the Church and Temple area.
This is so much better. Something to look forward to!
