“RTA had implemented a series of quick enhancements, including road lighting, to facilitate smoother traffic flow and support both population growth and the thriving business activities in Oud Metha. This area hosts a range of residential, commercial, medical, social, cultural, and sports facilities, and these measures will contribute to reducing accidents and ensuring the highest safety standards,” Hamad Al Shehhi, Director of Roads at the Traffic and Roads Agency, RTA, said.
Al Shehhi added, “RTA had expanded Street No. 2 towards Umm Hurair Roundabout to alleviate traffic queues, conducted surface improvements of the roundabout, and increased the number of turning lanes from two to three. This facilitated the access and exit for visitors and improved traffic flow in all directions.
"Additionally, RTA has introduced 27 parking spaces across the area to accommodate motorists, especially those visiting commercial establishments, thereby enhancing public satisfaction with infrastructure and roads and aligning with Dubai’s vision to be the world’s best city to live in.”
