However, this efficiency is increasingly handicapped by the poor performance of urban transport, especially in the capital Sana'a. This report presents the main findings of this review and makes key recommendations to improve the efficiency of urban transport in Sana'a. It contains the following chapters: a first chapter presents the general context of the study, characterized by fast demographic and spatial growth in Sana'a, causing major difficulties in terms of urban transport management; a second chapter analyses and describes the main underlying issues affecting the performance and efficiency of Sana'a transport system; a third chapter presents institutional, technical and financing recommendations to improve the performance of Sana'a transport system; and a fourth chapter presents a tentative three-year action plan for implementation of the recommendations.CC BY 3.0 IGOACCESSIBILITYACCIDENTSAIRAIR POLLUTIONALTERNATIVE MODESANGLE PARKINGARTERIESARTERYAUTOMOBILEBOTTLENECKSBUSBUS LANESBUS NETWORKBUS STATIONSBUS STOPSBUSESCARCAR DEPENDENCECAR TRAFFICCAR USECARSCAUSES OF ACCIDENTSCITY TRANSPORTCOMPREHENSIVE URBAN TRANSPORTCOMPREHENSIVE URBAN TRANSPORT STRATEGYCRASHESCROSSINGCURB PARKINGDAILY TRAFFICDEMAND FOR MOBILITYDOUBLE PARKINGDRAINAGEDRIVERSDRIVINGEMISSIONEMISSION STANDARDSENFORCEMENT OF REGULATIONSENFORCEMENT OF TRAFFIC REGULATIONSENFORCEMENT OF TRAFFIC RULESEXCLUSIVE BUS LANESEXCLUSIVE RIGHTSEXPRESSWAYSEXTERNALITIESFUELHIGH TRAFFIC VOLUMESHIGHWAYSIMPACT OF TRANSPORTINFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTSINNER RINGINNER RING ROADINNER RING ROADSINTERSECTIONSLAND TRANSPORTLAND USELAND-USE PLANNINGLANESLONG DISTANCESMAIN TRANSPORTMEANS OF TRANSPORTMINIBUSESMINISTRY OF TRANSPORTMOBILITY MANAGEMENTMODAL SPLITMODAL SPLIT ANALYSISMODE OF TRANSPORTMODES OF TRANSPORTMOTORIZATION RATENEIGHBORHOODSOUTER RING ROADOUTER RING ROADSPASSENGERSPEAK HOURSPEDESTRIANPEDESTRIAN ACCIDENTSPEDESTRIAN CROSSINGPEDESTRIAN CROSSINGSPEDESTRIAN FACILITIESPEDESTRIAN MOVEMENTSPEDESTRIAN NEEDSPEDESTRIAN NETWORKPEDESTRIAN ROUTESPEDESTRIAN VOLUMESPEDESTRIANSPOLLUTIONPOLLUTION PROBLEMSPOPULATION DENSITIESPOPULATION GROWTHPRIVATE AUTOMOBILESPRIVATE OPERATORSPRIVATE TRAFFICPUBLIC TRANSPORTPUBLIC TRANSPORT INDUSTRYPUBLIC TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTUREPUBLIC TRANSPORT MODESPUBLIC TRANSPORT NETWORKPUBLIC TRANSPORT OPERATORSPUBLIC TRANSPORT PLANNINGPUBLIC TRANSPORT SECTORPUBLIC TRANSPORT SERVICEPUBLIC TRANSPORT SERVICE PLANNINGPUBLIC TRANSPORT SERVICESPUBLIC TRANSPORT SYSTEMPUBLIC TRANSPORT TRIPSPUBLIC TRANSPORT USERSPUBLIC TRANSPORT VEHICLESPUBLIC WORKSRAPID TRANSITREALLOCATION OF ROADREALLOCATION OF ROAD SPACERIGHT OF WAYRIGHT-TURN MOVEMENTSRING ROADRING ROADSROADROAD CAPACITYROAD HIERARCHYROAD INFRASTRUCTUREROAD LINKSROAD MAINTENANCEROAD MARKINGSROAD NETWORKROAD SAFETYROAD SPACEROAD SYSTEMROAD USERSROADSROADWAYROUTEROUTESSAFE CROSSINGSHORT-TERM PARKINGSIDEWALKSSTREET CROSSINGSSTREET LIGHTINGSTREET PARKINGSTREETSSUBURBSTAXISTRAFFICTRAFFIC ACCIDENTSTRAFFIC CAPACITYTRAFFIC CONGESTIONTRAFFIC CONTROLTRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICESTRAFFIC CROSSINGTRAFFIC DEMANDTRAFFIC ENFORCEMENTTRAFFIC ENGINEERINGTRAFFIC ENGINEERSTRAFFIC FLOWSTRAFFIC LANETRAFFIC LIGHTSTRAFFIC MANAGEMENTTRAFFIC MANAGEMENT MEASURESTRAFFIC OPERATIONSTRAFFIC POLICETRAFFIC PROBLEMSTRAFFIC SIGNALTRAFFIC SIGNALSTRAFFIC SPEEDTRAFFIC VOLUMESTRANSPORT CORRIDORSTRANSPORT DEMANDTRANSPORT MANAGEMENTTRANSPORT PLANTRANSPORT PLANNERSTRANSPORT PLANNINGTRANSPORT PLANNING PROCESSTRANSPORT POLICIESTRANSPORT POLICY ISSUESTRANSPORT POLICY MEASURESTRANSPORT PROBLEMSTRANSPORT PROJECTSTRANSPORT REGULATIONTRANSPORT SAFETYTRANSPORT SECTORTRANSPORT SERVICE PROVIDERSTRANSPORT STRATEGIESTRANSPORT STRATEGYTRANSPORT TERMINALSTRANSPORTATIONTRANSPORTATION FACILITIESTRANSPORTATION PLANNINGTRAVEL TIMESTRIPSTRIPS BY FOOTTRUCK TRAFFICTRUCKSTRUETUNNELSTYPES OF VEHICLESUNDERGROUNDURBAN INFRASTRUCTUREURBAN MOBILITYURBAN PUBLIC TRANSPORTURBAN ROADURBAN SPRAWLURBAN STRUCTUREURBAN TRANSPORTURBAN TRANSPORT PLANNINGURBAN TRANSPORT POLICIESURBAN TRANSPORT POLICYURBAN TRANSPORT PROBLEMSURBAN TRANSPORT SECTORURBAN TRANSPORT STRATEGIESURBAN TRANSPORT STRATEGYURBAN TRANSPORT SYSTEMURBAN TRANSPORT SYSTEMSURBAN TRIPSVEHICLEVEHICLE OPERATINGVEHICLE OPERATING COSTSVEHICLE REGISTRATIONVEHICLE SAFETYVEHICLESWALKINGWALKING TRIPSWorld Bank10.1596/2981
