Dubai’s rapid development has resulted in a significant increase in traffic congestion, but the city is not slowing down — it is speeding up its efforts to implement smart and sustainable solutions.
The roads and transport authority (rta) has initiated a strategic plan to reduce traffic congestion by 20–30%, focusing on addressing the underlying factors that contribute to the gridlock that has been causing frustration among drivers in the emirate.
What is causing the congestion?
The number of vehicles owned by people has increased by 10% in just two years, which is significantly higher than the global average
Rapid population growth and urban expansion
🕒 heavy daytime vehicle volumes
These matters ignited a nationwide dialogue, with minister of energy and infrastructure suhail al mazrouei proposing stricter car ownership regulations during a recent federal national council (fnc) session.

The authority is dedicated to implementing long-term, sustainable solutions, such as smarter infrastructure, improved public transportation, and advanced traffic management systems — all aimed at alleviating daily commutes and decreasing dependence on private vehicles.
As Dubai expands, the RTA’s dedication to innovation guarantees the city’s progress — effectively, securely, and in an environmentally friendly manner.
