The Dubai tram is a totally different system to the Dubai Metro, which has no interaction with road users, whereas with the tram, in certain areas the tram route intersects with the road. While the Metro railway is not accessible, the tram railway in certain areas is — with potential dangers by littering and causing obstructions to the tramway line.

RIGHT OF WAY: Most importantly, where the routes of the Dubai tram and other vehicles intersect, the tram will have priority. Vehicular traffic from all directions will stop whenever trams cross the intersections, as the trams will have right of way. It is important for motorists not to block these box junctions!

DO NOT

Litter the tramway line

Cross the tramway line from non-designated areas

Enter a restricted area

Interfere with the operation of the tramway or take any action that would compromise the safety of the tram or the infrastructure

Cross the red light at the junction with the tramway and blocking the tramway without permission.
