From time to time, the dilemma of closing Al-Hada Road with the first splash of rain is renewed in order to avoid rocks falling, to remain without radical solutions for decades.
Road security forces resort to (temporarily) closing the road in both directions due to the rain. And "Okaz" monitored in a field tour during the past days, following the rains and after the resumption of traffic, the presence of more than 10 reefs dense with moving rocks, while the "concrete rabab" appeared in separate locations, and a number of warning signs established by the Ministry of Transport indicate several possible locations for precipitation. The rocks, and a number of citizens indicated that the dilemma requires permanent solutions that end the headache, especially since Taif is a continuously rainy governorate, as Nawaf Al-Otaibi said that the closures of Al-Hada Road due to rain have become frequent. Abdullah Al-Sufyani added: One of the solutions is to remove all the rocks and reinforce the sites with concrete castings and barriers along the entire distance of the road, especially since it is a short road. Travelers said that the closures disrupt traffic and tourism, especially since they include employees who go to the road on a daily basis and disrupt their work. Because the alternative (Al-Sail Road) is a long distance from Al-Hada and Wadi Numan.
