Housing loans in the Kurdistan have made the villages flourish faster than ever in terms of construction and housing.

Just a few hundred meters beside the Upper Zap River, lies a village in the district of Bardarash named 'Chama' which appears as a white new landscape with modern and well-designed houses. You can hardly see any clay houses remaining in the village although they used to be the only form of dwelling for its residents (the majority of who depend on agriculture and livestock for their income) just 3 years ago.

Car accidents are now becoming the major factor behind the deaths of hundreds of people and leaving many others injured and handicapped in Kurdistan Region.

 

The Traffic Police suggest that the driving license policy needs to be changed, punishments made harder against drivers who violate the traffic law and traffic police allowed to have more authority and rights. Others claim that the lack of drivers, awareness and the bad condition of the main roads are the major factors. Most of the accidents, as a traffic police officer says, are on the main roads. The reasons behind this are speeding, using mobile phones while driving, overtaking on one-sided roads and drivers, impatience.
