Previously, the speed of the vehicles was not previously defined.

Waleed said that 'the highest speed on international highways was set at 120 km / h, and on foreign highways with two separate tracks will be the highest 100 km / h.

"Traffic patrols will monitor the implementation of new procedures and hold violators accountable, by booking their vehicles and imposing fines," Waleed said.

According to the joint statistics of the provincial councils in Iraq, more than 1600 citizens were killed in 2017, and about 7 thousand others were injured by traffic accidents, according to statistics, about 500 injuries ended permanently disabled, mostly south of the country.

While 170 Iraqis have been killed in road accidents since the beginning of the year.
