Scientific research states that Maltese roads are perceived as the fifth worst in Europe, and that Maltese people spend 52 hours stuck in traffic every year. As regards construction, it is evident that permits are issued without proper planning because one frequently finds closed roads at short notice at the same time that runs-offs from these roads are closed.

We have all been caught in traffic or forced to take an unplanned diversion, and we know how frustrating it is for our parents. Therefore, we carried out this research to determine what Maltese people think about traffic and related issues.
