Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has stepped up its efforts to keep motorists and public transport users informed amidst fluctuating road conditions in the emirate. With ongoing updates, RTA aims to provide clarity and guidance to commuters uncertain about which routes to take.
In a recent statement posted on its website, RTA reassured the public, stating, “The road network is being meticulously managed, with operations gradually resuming to normalcy. Efforts are underway to address flooded areas across the emirate, prioritizing the safety of all commuters.”
RTA has implemented alternative plans to mitigate disruptions, including the deployment of approximately 50 buses to serve affected stations. These measures are part of RTA’s commitment to ensuring seamless transportation services while addressing challenges posed by adverse weather conditions.
Commuters are urged to stay informed about these arrangements through official RTA channels to plan their journeys effectively and navigate Dubai’s roads with confidence. With RTA’s proactive measures in place, commuters can expect smoother travels despite ongoing challenges.
Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister, and Ruler of Dubai, led a Cabinet meeting at Qasr Al Watan in Abu Dhabi, where discussions centered on recent severe weather conditions in the country.

Committees were formed to assess the extent of the damage and propose solutions. Despite the challenges, Sheikh Mohammed praised the nation’s response, emphasizing the priority of citizen and resident safety.
Additionally, updates on the National Tourism Strategy and economic achievements were highlighted, including significant increases in tourism numbers and trade values.
The UAE’s growing role in global investment was also underscored, reflecting a continued commitment to development and prosperity.
