Tips to avoid heavy traffic on the roads of Dubai

Dubai is a vibrant city developing in various sectors such as infrastructure, technology, business, and the popular tourism industry. As one of the most developed cities in the world, Dubai attracts tourists, job seekers, and investors every year and the number continues to grow. This modern city is no different when it comes to road traffic. Well-built road networks make it easy and convenient to get around in your rental car. However, going to the streets without a proper plan can only get you into a severe traffic jam. Here are some easy and gentle tips to avoid traffic on the streets of Dubai.

Avoid rush hours

Office and school hours are the main determinants of road traffic. Most cities have special times when crowds move in a certain direction. The southern part of Dubai is the hub of offices, usually starting between 8 and 9 in the morning. Avoid traveling south of Dubai during these hours of the week. Similarly, travel to North Dubai between 5 pm and 7 pm should be avoided, as these are working hours for returning officers. In addition, the streets are crowded with school buses during these hours.

Keep an eye on the road works

With the help of the internet and Google Maps, planning your road trip has become more manageable. Check out the road construction work on the internet and maps as it is a major cause of congestion on the surrounding roads. You can identify important traffic points and find alternative routes to get to your destination faster and more easily. You can also check the official website of RRTA for the latest traffic information in any area.

Know about dense areas

There are certain areas in Dubai that face heavy traffic due to their growing population, tourist attractions, narrow streets, restaurants, and other reasons. Jumeirah Lake Towers, Discovery Gardens, and Jumeirah Beach Residences are the center of attention in South Dubai. They provoke traffic congestion during rush hour. Karma, Deraa, and the international city also face frequent traffic jams, creating the main residential areas in northern Dubai.

Use weekends mornings

The early hours of the morning are the best time to plan your Friday weekend drive in your rental car, as most people stay home after Thursday night’s fun parties. However, during the afternoon, you can often experience little traffic on the roads. Streets near major shopping malls and parks can be crowded on weekends, as families visit. After that, your plans for the mall and park can be scheduled for long morning walks on Saturdays and Friday mornings.
