RTA finishes major traffic enhancements around 37 schools. WAM

Major road improvements were now completed across 37 schools throughout Dubai, according to the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) on Tuesday (October 1). The authority widened the roads leading to schools, added more parking spaces for staff and parents, enhanced school entrances and exits, and introduced traffic diversions in nearby areas. Travel time in school zones has been reduced by 15 to 20 percent. Parking areas were also paved in front of schools, along with designated zones to ensure the safe pick-up and drop-off of students. According to RTA, the improvements “are part of the broader strategy to enhance road network efficiency, particularly in school areas, aligning with the city's ongoing urban development." “The improvements are designed to serve road users such as teaching staff, bus drivers, and students' families, ensuring the safety of all road users in Dubai,” the authority added. The completed projects targeted several key locations, such as Kings' School Dubai on Umm Suqeim Street, The International School of Choueifat and Dubai College on Hessa Street, Al Safa Schools Complex, the School of Research Science in Al Warqa 4, Al Qusais Schools Complex, Al Mizhar Schools Complex, Nad Al Sheba Schools Complex, and Al Tawar Schools Complex 2.
