Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has initiated a comprehensive series of traffic enhancements across 40 major locations within the emirate, set to be executed between June and September 2025. The projects will encompass 22 major streets, nine school zones, over five development areas, and numerous internal roads in Tolerance District, Al Khawaneej 2, and Nad Al Sheba. These enhancements will take place during the summer holiday, aiming to minimize disruptions to daily traffic flow while upholding the highest safety standards at all designated sites.
RTA is steadfast in its commitment to elevating Dubai’s road infrastructure to align with the city’s ongoing urban expansion and economic growth, according to a statement. These initiatives are part of a broader strategy focused on improving traffic flow, enhancing road safety, reducing journey times, and promoting connectivity between residential, educational, and developmental areas throughout the city.
The forthcoming phase will feature traffic upgrades at critical locations, such as Jumeirah Village Circle towards Hessa Street, Ras Al Khor Road, Al Thanya Street, and King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud Street. Additional enhancements will be implemented on Al Meydan Street, Al Sa’ada Street, Al Asayel Street, and the intersection of Al Wasl Street with Al Manara Street.
Enhancing school zone safety
In line with its dedication to boosting traffic efficiency and road safety surrounding educational institutions, RTA is conducting roadworks at nine strategically selected school zone locations. This includes improvements at the Al Warqa 1 school complex, the addition of a bus entrance at GEMS School in Al Warqa 3, widening access and exit points around The English College in Al Safa 1 on Sheikh Zayed Road, and the installation of a signal-controlled pedestrian crossing on Al Seedaf Street in Al Barsha 1. These initiatives aim to alleviate congestion during peak morning and afternoon periods.
In response to the emirate’s population surge and flourishing economy, RTA is also introducing traffic solutions at five major development zones. This encompasses the construction of a direct access route to Al Muhaisnah labour camps from Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road, upgrades to Al Mustaqbal Street (Brookfield) for improved access to newly developed residential neighborhoods, enhanced connectivity between Al Khail Road and Al Asayel Street via Al Marabea’ Street, and improvements at the Nad Al Hamar junction near Lootah Mosque. Furthermore, new parking facilities will be constructed to serve the Zayed Educational Complex in Oud Al Muteena 1.
Additionally, Dubai RTA will finalize internal roadworks in various areas, including Tolerance District, Al Khawaneej 2, Jebel Ali Industrial 1, Nad Al Sheba, and Al Warqa. Pedestrian walkways will be established in Al Quoz Creative Zone to enhance pedestrian safety.
