Deficiencies of Transport Planning in Libya

Good or proper planning fosters developmental activities on planet earth, while bad planning often results to several problems and disputes. Planners encourage civilization by anticipating and resolving community conflicts. Good planning requires special skills and perspectives; and is insightful, comprehensive, and strategic. Planners should strive to truly understand problems, and not just of a single perspective or manifestation. Therefore, effective planning requires correctly defining problems and raising the critical questions. This study examined thoroughly the transport problems in Libya, as well as its importance. Also, it studied the type of planning that must be followed in Libya, and the necessary steps to be taken to achieve the desired goals. During these findings, field research and studies on transport sector must be conducted to obtain the information necessary for planning. This can reflect the reality of urban development in the cities such as the change in population density, and counting traffic accidents. The revision of traffic laws and the identification of the weak and strong points of these laws in order to amend them, in a way keep up with the existing urban progress.
