HE Mattar Al Tayer, Director-General and Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of RTA announced that the completion rate of the Intelligent Traffic Systems Expansion Project had reached 65 per cent.
In line with the directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of UAE and Ruler of Dubai, this project will broaden the scope of intelligent traffic systems in support of making Dubai the smartest city in the world.
It also reflects RTA's efforts to harness smart technologies to ease people mobility in Dubai.
The project will expand the coverage of Dubai's roads by Intelligent Traffic Systems from the present 11 per cent to 60 per cent, cut the time of detecting accidents and congestion build-ups on roads, hence ensuring a quick response.

The project entails the construction of 112 Dynamic Messaging Signs fitted with the latest technologies at selected locations on Dubai's roads network as well as around mega-event spots, such as Expo 2020," said Al Tayer.

There are two types of signs depending on road classification, number of lanes and traffic volumes. The first type of signs are those installed on roadsides, while the second are large signs that cover entire road lanes. RTA has finished installing 18 panels and work is underway to complete the remaining panels according to the project schedule." he added.
