According to the TomTom Traffic Index for 2021, out of 416 cities in 57 countries, Abu Dhabi is the least congested capital of the world based on the annual survey by the global navigation services company. The survey evaluated several factors, including the traffic congestion level in intersections and streets at different times, including peak hours. The number, durability, and programming of traffic lights, which affect their contribution to the traffic flow, were also analyzed. Abu Dhabi recorded a low congestion level of 11 percent. This rate reflected the effective traffic management plan implemented by the Department of Municipalities and Transport. “We strive to strengthen Abu Dhabi’s position as one of the world's best places to live and work by developing sustainable smart cities for the future,” Chairman of DMT, Falah Al Ahbabi, said.
