Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has completed eight traffic improvement projects in educational zones across the emirate this year, benefiting 37 schools.
This initiative is part of efforts to enhance road network efficiency in school areas, supporting Dubai's ongoing urban development.
Key upgrades include widening access roads, creating additional parking for staff and parents, improving school entrances and exits, and implementing traffic diversions in surrounding areas.
The project focused on major locations, including Kings' School Dubai on Umm Suqeim Street, The International School of Choueifat and Dubai College on Hessa Street, Al Safa Schools Complex, School of Research Science in Al Warqa 4, Al Qusais Schools Complex, Al Mizhar Schools Complex, Nad Al Sheba Schools Complex, and Al Tawar Schools Complex 2.
Hussain Al Banna, CEO of the Traffic and Roads Agency, said that these enhancements have resulted in a notable 15% to 20% reduction in school travel times, highlighting the positive impact on traffic flow.
He added that the RTA will continue to implement traffic solutions in school zones, with plans for further improvements in 2025 targeting over 13 schools in key areas such as Al Garhoud, Al Barsha 1, Al Warqa, and Al Barsha South.
