RTA signs nine agreements to improve traffic in free zones in Dubai

ubai: The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) of Dubai has signed nine new cooperation agreements with prominent property developers and free zone authorities across the emirate.

These agreements are designed to streamline the approval process for infrastructure projects, manage activities within public roads and right-of-way areas, and enhance road safety. They also aim to ensure that development projects comply with the highest standards and regulations set by the relevant authorities.

The cooperation agreements were signed with some of Dubai’s leading developers and free zone authorities, including Emaar Properties, DAMAC Properties, Majid Al Futtaim Properties, Nshama, Al Futtaim Properties, the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre, Dubai Healthcare City, Dubai Investments Park, and the Dubai Integrated Economic Zones Authority.

Bader Al Siri, Executive Director of Right-of-Way at RTA’s Traffic and Roads Agency, commented: “These partnerships form part of an integrated strategy to streamline the management of Dubai’s right-of-way and establish a centralised framework for planning and executing infrastructure projects. This collaboration will not only improve the efficiency of our road network but also enhance traffic flow and ensure the safety of all road users, both motorists and pedestrians.”

Al Siri also praised the cooperation between RTA, developers, and free zone authorities, calling it a significant step in the implementation of Law No. (4) of 2021. This law regulates the use of roads within development areas and free zones in Dubai. He underscored the importance of strong collaboration between RTA and its strategic partners to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of the emirate’s road infrastructure.
