To ease traffic congestion, expats should only possess two vehicles

  • 13/12/2021

Kuwait : MP Abdullah Al-Turaiji tabled a proposal to the National Assembly yesterday that would limit expatriate vehicle ownership to two and apply additional costs on any additional vehicles, claiming that the measure will reduce traffic congestion.

Turaiji's proposal requests that the interior ministry take the necessary steps to limit the number of vehicles foreign residents can own for personal use to only two "to combat illegal vehicle trade, reduce traffic jams," and "ensure there are enough spaces for Kuwaiti citizens to use at commercial malls, markets, and public places."


According to the idea, residents who want to possess more than two automobiles must apply to the traffic department and, if approved, pay additional costs for each vehicle.
