===Roads===
{{see also|List of roads in Amman}}

Amman has an extensive road network. Eight [[roundabout]] "circles", which formerly marked neighborhoods, are used as landmarks.<ref name="KH"/> The road network includes many bridges and tunnels due to the mountainous nature of the terrain. A leading example is the [[Abdoun Bridge]], which spans [[Wadi Abdoun]] and connects the [[List of roads in Amman#Circles|4th Circle]] to [[Abdoun Circle]]. It is considered one of Amman's many landmarks and is the first curved suspended bridge to be built in the country.<ref name="KH"/>

Successive waves of refugees to the city has led to the rapid construction of new neighborhoods, but Amman's capacity for new or widened roads remains limited despite the influx. This has resulted in increasing traffic jams, particularly during summer when there are large numbers of tourists and Jordanian expatriates visiting.<ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.jordantimes.com/news/local/amman-residents-complain-about-daylong-car-jams| title=Amman residents complain about daylong car jams| access-date=23 September 2015| date=8 June 2014| work=[[The Jordan Times]]| archive-date=25 September 2015| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150925114322/http://www.jordantimes.com/news/local/amman-residents-complain-about-daylong-car-jams| url-status=live}}</ref> In 2015, a [[ring road]] encompassing the city was constructed, which aims to connect the northern and southern parts of the city in order for traffic to be diverted outside Amman and to improve the environmental conditions in the city.<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.jordantimes.com/news/local/pm-inaugurates-second-phase-amman-road-project| title=PM inaugurates second phase of Amman road project| access-date=23 September 2015| date=5 February 2012| work=The Jordan Times| url-status=dead| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150925104750/http://www.jordantimes.com/news/local/pm-inaugurates-second-phase-amman-road-project| archive-date=25 September 2015}}</ref>
