Dubai’s RTA Unveils 16 New Road Projects to Combat Traffic Congestion

 Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has launched an ambitious initiative involving 16 new road projects across the emirate to address traffic congestion and enhance urban mobility. These projects, rolled out and initiated throughout August, target residential, educational, and major traffic corridors, aligning with Dubai’s vision for a sustainable, smart, and efficient transportation network. The initiatives are part of a broader strategy to modernize the emirate’s road infrastructure, reduce travel times, improve public safety, and integrate innovative engineering and smart technologies into the transportation system.

 

Among the key projects, the RTA is focusing on improving traffic flow in critical areas. One project involves upgrading the service road near the American School of Dubai in Al Safa to streamline vehicle movement. Similarly, enhancements on Al Seedaf Street aim to bolster traffic safety, while a new free-turn lane from Al Manama Street to Al Meydan Street will facilitate smoother navigation. These efforts reflect the RTA’s commitment to addressing localized traffic challenges while ensuring safer and more efficient road networks.

 

Educational areas are also a priority, with traffic adjustments planned around Al Mawakeb School in Al Garhoud to improve the commuting environment for students and parents. On August 21, the RTA will commence construction of new parking spaces near Nord Anglia International School in Al Barsha South, designed to ease congestion during peak school hours and enhance vehicle flow in the surrounding area. Additionally, traffic improvements near the Zayed Educational Complex in Oud Al Muteena and the North American International School in Al Mizhar are set to optimize road efficiency and safety in these busy zones.

The RTA’s August agenda includes a series of concurrent projects starting on August 24. These include adding a new lane at the entrance to Dubai Silicon Oasis, implementing traffic enhancements in Al Qusais, and expanding Nad Al Hamar Street near Lootah Mosque toward Al Rebat Street. Further improvements involve traffic modifications near educational institutions to ensure safer and smoother commutes. Another significant project includes constructing an additional lane on Sheikh Zayed Road near the Umm Al Sheif intersection and widening the right-hand turn from Al Mustaqbal Street toward the Financial Centre Street, both aimed at improving traffic flow in Dubai’s bustling commercial districts.
