RTA Completes 3 Traffic Improvements on Business Bay area to Boost Flow and Road Safety

Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has completed 3 traffic improvements on Business Bay. The improvements involved expanding and upgrading several locations along the street, which connects directly to Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Khail Road, aiming to enhance traffic flow and road safety in the Business Bay area. These enhancements serve the needs of residents, visitors, and businesses in a district characterised by a diverse mix of residential, commercial, and service facilities.

These improvements come as part of a comprehensive plan to develop the infrastructure and enhance the efficiency of the road network in the Business Bay area. across Dubai to keep pace with the Emirate’s population growth and rapid urban expansion. The newly completed improvements support smoother traffic flow, increased safety, and reduced travel times, thus improving the overall experience for road users, especially in high-density areas.

As part of the upgrades, the street parallel to Sheikh Zayed Road was converted from a two-lane, two-way configuration into a one-way dual roadway, with updated signage and road markings. This adjustment reduced traffic overlap points, increased the street’s capacity by 100%, and improved overall traffic flow under the overall aim of enhancing road safety and ensuring seamless movement for road users.

Additionally, a 100-metre-long storage lane was added at the intersection of Al Mustaqbal Street with Al Khaleej Al Tejari 1 Street to increase right-turn capacity towards First Al Khail Street by up to 50%. This measure reduced congestion, shortened waiting times, and boosted the intersection’s capacity and level of service.

Further improvements were carried out near the towers, where the service road parallel to Al Mustaqbal Street was reorganised, and an additional lane was introduced to accommodate rising traffic volumes. This step increased road capacity by approximately 50% and reduced traffic conflicts, enhancing overall traffic movement.

Moreover, RTA expanded the entry point to the bridge on Al Mustaqbal Street over the canal in the direction of First Al Khail Street from one lane to two, doubling its capacity. This measure eased traffic pressure during peak hours and improved vehicle flow along this critical corridor.
