The city of Mohammedia, despite certain constraints, aspires to occupy a privileged position at the national level and ensure its development in harmony with the ambitions of its inhabitants. In this vein, the improvements to certain axes and boulevards have strengthened the city's urban road infrastructure but have not solved the thorny problems of urban mobility. Driving in Mohammedia, especially on weekends and during the summer season, has become a real ordeal; the implementation of one-way streets has not had the expected effect on traffic flow. Abusive parking has undermined the efforts of those who hoped for changes in mentality. The situation is serious, even worrying, aggravated by the lack of civic-mindedness of some road users and the state of certain city axes that require widening. In the absence of structured car parks equipped with adequate facilities, the proliferating parking areas are experiencing serious problems: disorder, anarchy, no price indication, etc. Beyond the worrying problems of urban mobility, what is most annoying is the lack of civic-mindedness of some who no longer hesitate to park their cars on the sidewalk tiles of certain boulevards, depriving pedestrians of their rights, forcing them to use the road, and exposing them to the risk of accidents. The situation is worsening in certain parts of the city; for example, the Marche Verte roundabout, opposite the Kasbah, has been the scene of numerous traffic jams since its redevelopment, with obvious risks of accidents. Road users, especially some small taxi drivers, more concerned with profit than their safety and that of their passengers, no longer hesitate to park in a prohibited and narrow space where traffic is dense. Despite complaints stigmatising the attitude of taxi drivers, these practices are permanent at the roundabout: starting off quickly without signalling, sudden stops without any regard for vehicles coming from behind, overtaking, and even abusive parking are all infractions that have become common and go unpunished. If one adds to this the impolite, even aggressive, attitude of some drivers and the state of some small taxis, it is clear that the situation is too worrying to continue to be ignored. "The city officials thought they would limit traffic jams by imposing a single direction on the most frequented arteries, but the result is below expectations," points out a resident of Mohammedia. Indeed, this solution remains, according to several motorists, temporary and insufficient. "Prohibiting traffic in certain streets does not solve the problem. This measure is, on the contrary, penalising for road users," says a motorist. "This prohibition, supposedly to regulate traffic, simply aggravates the problem of traffic jams, especially when no communication campaign is carried out to announce these changes." The axes concerned by this measure are currently experiencing a great deal of abusive parking on both sides. This has created traffic congestion and caused great exasperation among motorists and other road users. This draws attention to the lack of parking spaces, another ailment of Mohammedia.
Taxi control is necessary
A short tour through the city of Mohammedia is enough to realise the lack of respect for the provisions of the Highway Code. Faced with this situation, citizens are calling on the relevant services to "think about widening the roads where traffic is dense and putting an end to the attitude of some road users who do not comply with the provisions of the Highway Code." In the same vein, they are calling for increased checks on small and large taxis, particularly their mechanical condition, in order to establish discipline within the corporation and ensure better road safety, especially for pedestrians who find themselves harmed and exposed to risks.
