Abstract

The aims of serch spatial analy sis of the natural factors and their role in influencing the efficiency of the road network and traffic in the province. That the geographical location has contributed positively to the construction of the road network in the province and thus make a link to the activity       and flow of daily transport, whether for individuals or commercial                goods.                                                                                                              

   The nature of the geological structure was not practical in terms of the construction and extension of road networks without doing some additional works and treatments that would increase the efficiency of the roads and the of the relatively free surface Positive along the network of roads in the province and this is evident clearly on most of the roads that took a central extension from the north to the south in accordance with the characteristic of

the topographic appearance of the surface the province.                                    

   The climate and its various elements (temperature, rain, dust storms, haze)  efficiency in the governorate. However, the size and level of these effects varied in turn according to each climatic element and its temporal frequency during the year. The impact of soil on the construction of roads by each category, as the catchment of the soil of the shoulders of the rivers on the bulk of the total paths of the network of roads in the province, in contrast, we limited when compared to previous natural geographical factors
