Dubai: If you are en route to work this morning (Nov 27), you are in luck – everything points to light traffic and easy-to-navigate roads in most areas. Downtown Dubai, however, is a bit of an exception as as there are some bottlenecks on D71 and Zaa'beel Second.

Traffic on Ras Al Kor Road’s E44 is also sluggish.

This morning, Dubai Police urged drivers to keep their cars in optimal condition by scheduling regular maintenance checks. “This will prevent unexpected breakdowns and provide a safer driving experience,” it said on its social media accounts.
