RTA is implementing a wider package of traffic improvement projects along Sheikh Zayed Road — one of Dubai's busiest highways and a key artery through the city — to improve traffic flow and keep up with the growing population's demands.

This comes after a new lane and two U-turns were opened on Latifa bint Hamdan Street, cutting traffic by up to 30 per cent.
