RTA Dubai has mapped out a detailed traffic management plan during Eid holidays in order to facilitate commuters and ensure smooth traffic flow during the festive period.
Over 55 directional signs have been installed in the Burj Khalifa district to direct inflow and outflow of traffic. Route planning through internal roads will help avoid congestion on the Financial Centre Road. Traffic will be directed along Oudh Metha Road through Al Asayel Road, Zabeel bridges through Al Saada Road and internal roads of the Business bay to Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Khail Road.
Furthermore, RTA is also ensuring additional number of taxicabs at the Dubai Mall and strict procedures will be in place for buses and taxis at pick-up and drop-off points. In case the demand for taxicabs becomes higher than expected at Dubai Mall, a bus route to Deira City Centre Metro Stations and Burjuman Station will be setup where more taxis will be available.
In the traffic management plan, ten buses have been specially designated to transport people from Dubai Mall to Trade Centre. Bus parking areas have also been allocated at the Address Hotel and Lafayette Hotel Add. An alternative plan for parking buses at the Burj Khalifa Metro Station is also in place.
