Egypt - Cairo traffic congestion study - phase 1 (English)

Abstract

This report discusses the first phase of a study to assess the baseline economic cost of current road traffic congestion in the Greater Cairo Metropolitan Area (GCMA), from which to prepare policy recommendations and an action plan to reduce traffic congestion… This report discusses the first phase of a study to assess the baseline economic cost of current road traffic congestion in the Greater Cairo Metropolitan Area (GCMA), from which to prepare policy recommendations and an action plan to reduce traffic congestion. The report begins with an introduction, including background and objective of the study. Section 2 presents a comprehensive assessment of the data and information needs of the study, identifying sources and samples of existing data and describing additional data that were collected as part of Task 2. Section 3 presents an analysis of the extent of traffic congestion in the GCMA, its main causes and key locations. Specifically, the section describes the detailed analysis performed on the Floating Car Survey (FCS) data and discusses the results. The section also presents the results of the consultative workshops conducted with traffic experts from academia, industry and Ministry of Interior. Section 4 presents the estimation of the direct economic cost of traffic congestion in Cairo. In this stage, economic costs of travel time delay, travel time unreliability, costs of excess fuel consumption, the associated cost of CO2 emission due to fuel consumption, and eventually total direct economic costs of traffic congestion in Cairo will be estimated.
