General and black private transport number plate vehicle movements to be regulated every Friday
To lessen traffic in Central Doha, the Committee for the Corniche Street Closure Introduction Plan has announced the implementation of a car plate management plan.
Vehicles with general transportation number plates and black private transportation number plates will be diverted away from central Doha by the plan, which will be put into effect every Friday from 3 pm to 10 pm beginning on September 30.
The plan’s coverage area extends from Al Khafji Street in the north to Corniche Street in the east, and from C-Ring Road in the west and south.

The plan will then come into full effect daily from November 1, coinciding with Qatar’s hosting of the FIFA World Cup 2022.
People who own only one vehicle (with either a general transport number plate or a private black number plate), as well as Mowasalat and Qatar Rail public transport vehicles, and emergency vehicles, are exempted from the plan and will be able to access these roads.
The Committee added that relevant authorities will issue fines – based on Article 49 – for all vehicles that access Central Doha during the implementation periods of the plan and do not meet the exemption criteria.
The vehicle plate management plan is part of the travel demand management measures that have been designed to minimize traffic during the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 and ensure smooth transportation operations throughout the country.
It was tested during the recent Lusail Super Cup to assess its effectiveness in improving the flow of traffic around the country. Based on the results, it was decided to implement the plan during this year’s FIFA World Cup to support the efforts of various stakeholders in ensuring smooth transport experiences in Central Doha during the tournament.
