Motorists in Business Bay can now enjoy shorter commutes and less time spent in traffic, thanks to a series of road improvements rolled out by Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA).

A key change involved converting a two-lane, two-way street parallel to Sheikh Zayed Road into a one-way, dual-carriageway. With upgraded signage and fresh road markings, this move has doubled the road’s capacity, a game-changer for drivers who previously faced long delays during peak hours.

The upgraded street connects directly to Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Khail Road, two of Dubai’s busiest arteries. The enhancements are already making it easier and faster to get in and out of Business Bay, cutting down on congestion and helping drivers avoid frustrating bottlenecks.

Previously, residents and office-goers in the area reported waiting over 30 minutes just to exit parking lots during rush hour. Now, smoother traffic flow and improved road safety mean less time spent stuck behind the wheel.

Quick wins for quicker commutes

Several strategic upgrades were introduced to cut down travel delays:

  • A new 100-metre storage lane was added at the Al Mustaqbal Street and Al Khaleej Al Tejari 1 Street intersection, increasing right-turn capacity by 50% and helping drivers move through the junction faster.
  • The service road parallel to Al Mustaqbal Street was reorganised, with an extra lane added to handle more vehicles. This increased road capacity by about 50 per cent and reduced traffic congestion, making for a smoother ride.
  • The bridge entry on Al Mustaqbal Street heading toward First Al Khail Street was widened from one lane to two, effectively doubling its capacity. This key update now helps ease pressure during peak hours, cutting down delays in one of Business Bay’s busiest zones.

With Business Bay serving as a hub for homes, offices, and tourism, these improvements are a welcome relief for anyone trying to save time on the road.
