Motorists driving along Al Khail Road can expect tailbacks and congestion as they drive to work.
According to lie updates from Google Maps, two accidents - only a short distance away from each other occurred on the stretch of Al Khail Road in Dubai. One accident took place near the exit towards Dubai-Al Ain Road and the other just adjacent Dubai Design District. Another accident has also been reported near Dubai Design District, this time inbound towards Dubai Mall.

Those travelling from Dubai to Sharjah are advised to buckle up as two accidents also occurred along Dubai-Sharjah Road before and after Al Mulla Plaza. This adds to the usually slow-moving traffic along E11 inbound to Dubai. An accident was also reported near National Paints on Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road and Sharjah International Airport.

Inside Dubai, Roads around Dubai International Airport are heavily congested which could be attributed to ongoing road improvements along Airport Road, EK group headquarters and the Terminal 3 staging lane.
