Transportation

The emirate of Dubai has a very good and well signposted road network. The quality of the roads are excellent and rival any modern city in the US and Europe. Most roads are two and four lane with the main arterial roads having 4-6 lanes in each direction. Driving is on the right hand side of the road and speed limits are strictly enforced through the use of radars. The position of the radars are often changed, so it is important to be vigilant.

Over the past two decades, Dubai has built an impressive road system. Its Road and Transport Authority (RTA) with its customer-focused approach is powering a change through its vision “Safe and smooth transport to all.” A massive expansion is currently underway and number of projects are in varying degrees of completion including double decker roads and creek crossings among others. The new roads and facilities will ease the traffic jams in this fast paced and ever growing city.
