Round-abouts are not parks. They are not the proper place
for picnics, rallies or protests. Having people gather in such places is a
safety hazard for drivers and protesters alike. There are many other locations
much more appropriate for such gatherings; proper parks, Nakheel yard, King
Abdallah Gardens, King Hussein Park, ….

I’m no urban planner but roundabouts on
zahran street up to the 3rd should all be fenced off cause crossing a
roundabout at any point is dangerous jay walking and crowds in a roundabout
cause traffic and accidents, roundabouts should be no stop zones, no loading no
unloading no buses stopping and no taxis picking up people. there is no reason
whatsoever for a person to be in the roundabout and no safe way to get there,
sane people know to cross the street not the roundabout. this is not dowar paris and
just cause some idiot designers decide to put a bench or fountain in roundabouts
doesn’t mean its a public space. (like dowar el mokhabarat..how the hell are
you supposed to SAFELY get there) 

the point you are trying to make that the 4th circle is a public space so it shouldn’t be fenced is very weak. if you want to complain that it was fenced to
close down protests then do so in a straightforward manner, you are trying too
hard to view it as an anti urban move when really it is the smartest thing you
can do for the traffic problem caused by pedestrians in the middle of a
(almost)high way like street

before you argue who owns this public space try to convince us that it
qualifies as a public space, shouldn’t public spaces be safely accessible by
citizens walking around the city without a death wish? 

I understand the comments/opinions of anyone who suggests that roundabouts are inappropriate places to hold protests as they are hazardous but here’s where theory clashes with reality:

Roundabouts are indeed a part of Amman’s public spaces, and the GAM has even, for many many years, placed chairs for people to sit on, and allowed people to have picnics right there on the 2nd circle. So to turn around and say it’s a hazard when it comes to protests kind of stands in contradiction that it’s not a hazard when people bring their kids and their mashawi. And by contradiction, I mean hypocrisy. Even Nakheel square is an island amidst traffic. In other words, they’re all hazards when the traffic argument is introduced, and if we have a policy against jay walking or camping out on roundabouts or anything of that nature – then that policy/law should be universal and in full effect. Not something that is only implemented when a political protest happens and ignored every other time.

Also…roundabouts and main roads are central in location to where the power structures are. Whether its the GAM, the Prime Ministry or Parliament – there is always something and protesters will always be in “violation” of a traffic law. Heck, large demonstrations and rallies never take place on sidewalks with people walking in an orderly fashion (especially given the nature of our sidewalks!). I’ve never seen that anywhere in the world. In many countries (especially those ones where the governments are elected), the power structures are often coupled with a piece of land that is designed to allow people to be heard. Whether it’s the white house or hyde park or what have you. We don’t have that in Jordan. The prime ministry is smack down in the middle of a residential area – almost akin to the Israeli embassy.

Telling people to go protest far away from traffic is basically telling them to go protest where no one can see you or hear you – which sits contrary to the whole point of a peaceful protest, which is, to be heard and to be seen. It is also interesting that those who constantly criticize protests that take place on roundabouts (specifically those protests seeking reforms) will always use this “hazardous to traffic” argument, and yet are no where to be heard from when tribes or villagers go out, burn tires, close down main highways and access routes to entire cities and governorates, and are even armed to the tooth. Why are these people not a “hazard to traffic”? Is it because of their background or simply because they’re out of sight, out of mind.

If anything, it’s not the people who should be moved, it’s the power structures. Move the Prime Ministry to a place that is more central and accessible to people the same way the Royal Court was initially designed to be a place that opened its doors to the concerns of the everyday jordanian (this is before it was walled off and turned in to a shadow government). They build new embassies and ministries every day, so there’s no reason why the prime ministry can’t be moved. This way, they allow people to protest peacefully, causing no traffic interruptions, and avoid getting in to any conflicts. Moreover, it would be a pretty symbolic statement of the state’s willingness to hear people out in the open air; a sign of democracy or at least of freedom.

In this political environment, we often forget that the government works for us – not the other way around. The ability for the population to have access to their government officials, and to be able to speak up as a group or as individuals, is something that is fundamental to public spaces.
