Bottlenecks Hit Major Commuter Corridors
Motorists faced slow-moving traffic across several major roads in Dubai and Sharjah on Monday morning. Heavy congestion affected the main commuter corridors, industrial zones, and business districts during the early rush. Live navigation maps showed severe slowdowns along Al Ittihad Road, Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, and Sheikh Zayed Road. Additionally, minor collisions at several busy junctions added extra delays for morning drivers. Along Al Ittihad Road, traffic crawled through Al Nahda, Al Qasimia, and Bu Daniq toward Dubai. Long queues extended across the border interchanges near Al Taawun and Al Khan. On Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, commuters encountered heavy bottlenecks near Muhaisnah, Global Village, and Dubai Motor City. Inside Sharjah, internal routes serving Industrial Areas 4, 5, 6, 8, and 9 also moved slowly.
Slowdowns Around Central Dubai Business Hubs
Drivers heading into central Dubai experienced dense traffic patches around Business Bay and the Al Quoz interchanges. Southbound lanes on Sheikh Zayed Road slowed noticeably approaching Dubai Marina and Jumeirah Village. Meanwhile, Al Khail Road saw heavy volume near the Meydan Hotel interchange and sections bordering Business Bay. Further south, congestion affected Hessa Street near Jumeirah Village Circle and Dubai Sports City. Commuters using Umm Suqeim Street also faced delays around Al Barsha South, Arjan, and Dubai Studio City. Near Dubai International Airport, approach roads around Al Rashidiya and Nad Al Shamma recorded steady morning tailbacks.
Dubai Police Urge Drivers To Use Indicators
Traffic maps flagged two separate morning accidents in Dubai's Al Mamzar neighborhood. Minor collisions also disrupted routes near Sharjah International Airport, Al Badee, Zaa'beel, and Al Karama. Authorities urged motorists passing through affected sectors to remain patient and follow police instructions carefully. To prevent further collisions, Dubai Police issued a fresh road safety reminder for all drivers. Officers urged motorists to use their turn signals well before changing lanes or making turns. Clear signalling helps surrounding drivers anticipate movements and significantly reduces rush-hour accidents.
