Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority has formalised nine cooperation agreements with prominent property developers and free zone authorities, aiming to streamline infrastructure project approvals and bolster road safety across the emirate.
The entities involved in these agreements include Emaar Properties, DAMAC Properties, Majid Al Futtaim Properties, Nshama, Al Futtaim Properties, Dubai Multi Commodities Centre, Dubai Healthcare City, Dubai Investments Park, and the Dubai Integrated Economic Zones Authority.
These partnerships are designed to create a unified platform for managing infrastructure project requests and overseeing activities within public roads and right-of-way areas. The initiative aims to ensure that development projects adhere to the highest standards and regulations set by the relevant authorities, thereby enhancing the efficiency of Dubai’s road network and improving traffic flow.
Bader Al Siri, Executive Director of Right-of-Way at RTA’s Traffic and Roads Agency, emphasised the significance of these collaborations. He stated that establishing a centralised framework for planning and executing infrastructure projects is crucial for optimising the management of Dubai’s right-of-way. This approach is expected to enhance the safety of all road users, including motorists and pedestrians.
Al Siri further highlighted that these agreements represent a significant advancement in implementing Law No. of 2021, which governs the use of roads within development areas and free zones in Dubai. He underscored that strong partnerships between RTA, developers, and free zone authorities are vital for enhancing the efficiency and sustainability of the emirate’s road infrastructure.
This initiative aligns with RTA’s commitment to maintaining world-class road infrastructure while preserving Dubai’s urban landscape. By working closely with developers and free zone authorities, RTA aims to ensure that Dubai’s infrastructure remains efficient and sustainable, catering to the needs of its growing population and economy.
