The rainfall witnessed in the region on Friday morning, October 9, 2026, has exacerbated the difficulties of travel on Regional Road 317, connecting Kelaat M'Gouna and Ighil n'Oumgoun, at the level of the Tamstigt roundabout in the Bou Tghrar area. Road users are suffering from difficult traffic conditions on this route.
The recorded situation raises concerns among road users, given the additional challenges posed by the rain to traffic movement, especially in mountainous areas where road infrastructure is affected by weather fluctuations. This increases the difficulty of citizen movement and raises questions about the readiness of this route to withstand rainfall.
This road is of great importance to the residents of the region, as it is one of the vital routes that citizens rely on for their daily commutes. This makes the deterioration of traffic conditions a cause for concern, especially when rainfall coincides with the fragility of the road infrastructure, water accumulation, and difficulty in crossing.
In light of this situation, attention is drawn to the competent authorities to inspect the road's condition on the ground, assess potential damages and risks, and take the necessary measures to secure traffic and alleviate the suffering of its users, with the necessity of thinking about sustainable solutions that ensure safe travel during periods of rainfall.
This situation brings back the demand for improving road infrastructure in mountainous areas, ensuring residents' right to safe travel, and reducing the risks of isolation that may be imposed by climatic conditions during rainy periods.
