Abdullah Ali Lootah, Director of Road and Facilities Maintenance at the Traffic and Roads Agency, RTA, said: “The renewal and maintenance of road markings included four major roads: Umm Al Sheif Street, Umm Suqeim Street, Ras Al Khor Road, and Dubai-Hatta Road. Additionally, road markings were updated in 21 internal areas, such as Trade Centre 1 and 2, Al Quoz 1, 3, and 4, Ghadir Al Tayr, Al Safa 1 and 2, and Umm Suqeim 2 and 3. The project also included renewing markings at key intersections (yellow box junctions), including the intersection of Al Ittihad Street with Al Nahda Street and the intersection of Abu Baker Al Siddiq Street with Al Muraqabat Street."

"The scope of work covered the marking of lanes, stop lines, paid parking spaces, traffic calming measures (speed bumps), pedestrian crossings, directional arrows, and the renewal of markings at key intersections. These works had been carried out in line with the highest global standards, ensuring all safety measures were in place to maintain traffic flow during execution and achieve the highest levels of safety on Dubai's road network," added Lootah.
