Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) will open in early August a new exit from the collector road for vehicles travelling from Financial Centre Street towards Ras Al Khor Road, near Bu Kadra Interchange. 

 

This improvement forms part of its Rapid Traffic Solutions Plan, aimed at enhancing road network efficiency and improving traffic flow, particularly in Ras Al Khor area, which borders several major developments, commercial, and industrial zones, said a statement from RTA.

 

The new exit improves traffic movement at Bu Kadra Interchange by reducing travel time for vehicles using the collector road from Financial Centre Street towards Ras Al Khor Road. 

 

It also eases congestion for vehicles heading towards Dubai-Al Ain Road. As a result, peak-hour travel time has been cut by 54%, from 13 minutes to 6 minutes, it stated.

 

According to RTA, the new exit complements a series of recent traffic improvements in Ras Al Khor area. 

 

Most notably, Exit 25 from Ras Al Khor Road to Al Khail Road in the direction of Al Meydan Street was widened from a single lane to two lanes over a 500-m stretch, said the statement. 

 

This upgrade doubled capacity to 3,000 vehicles per hour, reducing queues and cutting peak-period travel time from 7 minutes to 4 minutes, thereby improving traffic flow at this key junction, it added.-TradeArabia News Service
