Continuing its efforts, within ongoing development works Dubai. Roads and Transport Authority. 15th April 2026: Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has completed a project to construct road connections in 18 residential areas across the emirate, with a total length of 13 km. The project also included traffic enhancements, as well as the provision of roadside parking spaces, pavements, and street lighting in those areas. RTA continues its efforts to meet the demands of urban expansion and population growth in the emirate through ongoing road and infrastructure development projects across Dubai. These efforts aim to enhance the emirate’s urban landscape, improve residents’ quality of life, and achieve the highest standards of traffic safety, ensuring Dubai’s roads remain among the most efficient and highest-quality for users. Hamad Al Shehhi, Director of Roads at the Traffic and Roads Agency, RTA, said the new connections improve road connectivity and facilitate vehicle access to and from residential areas through the paving of previously unpaved roads. This has improved traffic flow and reduced journey times by up to 40% in those locations, while providing road users with a smoother and safer driving experience. The project reflects RTA’s vision to be The World Leader in Seamless and Sustainable Mobility. Al Shehhi added, “RTA implemented the project according to a phased timeline designed to cover the 18 residential areas, namely Al Khawaneej 1, Al Barsha South 1, Nad Shamma, Jumeirah 1, Za’abeel 1, Al Rashidiya, Muhaisnah 1, Al Barsha 1, Al Hudaiba, Al Quoz 1, Al Quoz 3, Al Satwa, Al Twar 1, Mirdif, Umm Ramool, Umm Suqeim 1, Al Mizhar 1, and Al Mizhar 2.” RTA continues to advance traffic flow, improve operational efficiency, and enhance road network performance through the implementation of rapid traffic solutions and improvements aimed at increasing vehicular capacity and ensuring smoother traffic movement across Dubai’s road network.
