Abdullah Yousef Al Ali, CEO of RTA’s Traffic and Roads Agency, said: "RTA had undertaken maintenance works on 67,816 signs out of 206,697 traffic and directional signs across Dubai. Over 90% of maintenance works had been carried out according to RTA’s pre-planned annual schedules. Additional maintenance tasks had been carried out in response to reports received from field inspectors, RTA’s Call Centre, Madinati app as well as partners from government agencies.
"Preventive maintenance included replacing faded signs, repainting signposts, cleaning signs, and other precautionary measures aimed at extending the operational lifespan of these signs. Works also included replacement of traffic and directional signs damaged due to traffic accidents or weather-related factors, and individual misconducts,” he said.
