The whole Avenues mall isn't licenced to operate as a commercial space in the first place.

Al Shaya is paying regular taxes to the government because this land is supposed to be industrial.

So what can you expect on the road planning part?

What needs to be done immediately is that AlShaya, who I believe as the main sharehold in The Avenues needs to address road development around his project with the government. Agreed, the off ramp near the entrance needs to be closed and the way that the traffic merges to the entrance of this mall off the 5th ring road needs to be addressed. Also, they need to do a 4-way traffic light near the IKEA property at the end of that project that allows the traffic to circle and go immediately to the 5th ring road. Who does the road planning here, they certainly have not supported this mall project? Really inferior road development!

Your mistake is that you went to the Avenues at 7:30 PM, you can't do that in today's Kuwait, unless you are prepared to travel on gridlocked freeways full of the most outrageously poor drivers on earth. Then when you arrive at the Avenues they built the entrance at the bottom of a freeway offramp (now needs to be closed) and you have to be careful not to miss the exit on the offramp on the 5th ring road. I do the 'creep up', like most foreigners, I go Friday mornings at 10:00 Am, otherwise I don't go to the Avenues. There are bottlenecks all over Kuwait that causes a domino effect through the roads. This is caused by poor road development, timing off on the street lights, and a lack of law enforcement on the roads to ticket bad drivers.
