Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has completed traffic improvements at four key locations within the Al Safa 1 Schools Complex just a week before the re-opening of schools on August 26.

Hamad Al Shehhi, Director of Roads at the Traffic and Roads Agency, RTA spoke about this initiative and said, “This initiative of RTA is expected to improve traffic flow and reduce travel time by 20 per cent. Some of these enhancements include the widening of entry and exit points and the introduction of traffic-calming measures such as traffic lights and pedestrian crossings.”

“The latest improvements in Al Safa 1 have been implemented to benefit road users, including service providers from the business community, students, and about 60K residents of the neighbourhood,” elaborates Al Shehhi.

RTA which is the lifeline of Dubai and keeps Dubai moving remains dedicated to its strategy of enhancing the efficiency of Dubai’s road network, aligning with the city’s development goals and the needs of road users. These efforts are aimed at ensuring smooth traffic flow and elevating safety standards across Dubai’s roads.
