RTA’s Recommendations for Motorists:
The RTA strongly advises motorists to plan their journeys in advance to avoid getting caught in traffic delays. If possible, schedule your trips outside of the maintenance hours.
Consider using alternative routes such as Sheikh Zayed Road or Al Wasl Road to bypass the affected areas on Jumeirah Street.
Ensure you adhere to all posted traffic signs and instructions from road authorities. This will help maintain smooth traffic flow and reduce the risk of accidents.
Given the anticipated delays, it’s wise to leave earlier than usual to ensure you reach your destination on time.
