Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has wrapped up a series of infrastructure improvements on Street 34 in Al Barsha South 1, aiming to ease traffic congestion and enhance road safety for residents.
The project included the addition of four new entry and exit points to the area, which has significantly reduced travel time from five minutes to less than a minute, according to the RTA.
To complement the traffic enhancements, the authority also introduced continuous sidewalks and built 158 new parking slots along Street 34. These measures are intended to reduce random roadside parking and improve the overall flow of vehicles in the community.
A newly constructed U-turn at the intersection of Street 34 and Al Hadaeq Street was also part of the upgrade, offering more direct access and improving movement efficiency across the area.
“These upgrades align with the vision of our leadership to elevate quality of life by delivering reliable, safe mobility infrastructure,” said Hussain Al Banna, CEO of the Traffic and Roads Agency. He emphasized that the developments are part of a broader initiative to create a fully integrated and sustainable urban environment.
Additionally, seven pedestrian crossings have been installed across internal roads in Al Barsha South, aimed at improving pedestrian safety and reducing risky interactions between vehicles and foot traffic, especially in densely populated zones.
