New entry, exit points in Dubai to reduce travel time by 80%

Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) is set to open a new entry and exit point to Al Warqa directly from Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road early next week (start of June), aiming to facilitate smoother access to and from the neighbourhood.

Once complete, the project will increase road capacity by 5,000 vehicles per hour, reduce travel time by 80% — from 20 minutes to just 3.5 minutes — and cut trip distances from 5.7 km to 1.5 km.

RTA has also completed traffic improvement works on Street 13 in Al Warqa I to serve residents and schoolgoers.

These enhancements form part of a broader internal road development project spanning approximately 8 km, designed to improve traffic flow and enhance the efficiency of the local road network, ultimately boosting daily mobility and residents’ quality of life.

RTA reaffirms its commitment to developing an integrated infrastructure network — encompassing roads, lighting, and stormwater drainage systems — within residential areas, in line with Dubai's urban and population growth objectives.

This reflects RTA’s dedication to meeting residents’ aspirations for a modern urban environment that enhances quality of life, supports sustainable mobility solutions, and ensures the highest standards of comfort and well-being.
