MPs appear determined on attempting to ban delivery motorcycles from Bahrain’s main roads, citing mounting public anger over traffic violations and a growing number of accidents involving riders.
It comes as MPs narrowly dismissed Parliament’s foreign affairs, defence and national security committee recommendation rejecting the proposal, warning it could worsen congestion and disrupt traffic flows across the kingdom.
The proposal, submitted by five MPs led by Bader Al Tamimi, seeks to prevent delivery motorcycles from using major highways and key arterial routes, arguing that reckless riding has become a serious threat to public safety.
