        abstract = {The fast development of fifth-generation (5G) wireless technology is creating new opportunities for smart mobility and intelligent transportation systems (ITS). In Saudi Arabia, continuous efforts to improve digital systems and develop smart cities have made 5G a major force in updating transportation systems. This research looks at how 5G networks affect the growth and functioning of smart mobility and intelligent transportation systems in Saudi Arabia. The study uses a thorough and detailed research method to look at how 5G technology helps with managing traffic in real time, communication between vehicles and everything around them, connected and self-driving cars, and smart public transport systems. It gathers information from academic papers, industry reports, and real examples to understand these benefits. The results show that 5G greatly increases how fast data can be sent, lowers the delay in communication, and makes the system more dependable, which helps traffic move more smoothly, makes roads safer, and gives users a better experience. The study also points out some difficulties, like the high cost of building infrastructure, the risk of cyber-attacks, and the lack of readiness in handling regulations. The study shows that good governance, careful planning, and ongoing investment are necessary to fully benefit from 5G-powered intelligent transportation systems in Saudi Arabia.},
