RTA using new smart platform to clear Dubai traffic
Hoping to make whizzing around the city easier than ever, the RTA announced it has adopted a platform that will analyse traffic in real time and from the last five years.
Named 'Data Drive – Clear Guide', the tech looks at everything from road conditions to speeds, congestion, traffic jams and any additional factor.

Working at lightening speed, the RTA also shared that the platform will offer up instant notifications about traffic on the roads, so it can make immediate changes to ease congestion.
Previously, procedures depended on manually gathering information from consultants or field teams, or on reports compiled manually based on traffic which led to delays.

Now, information that once took weeks to compile and analyse can be gathered quickly, so your rush hour commute could be sorted in minutes.
As well as real-time solutions, the platform also compares how the city's roads are looking now to data from the last five years, to help suggest where works or improvements could be made.
Designed to make your future journeys even smoother, the RTA said in a statement:
'This step comes as part of the Authority's efforts to employ artificial intelligence technologies to enhance traffic flow and provide the best services that support the emirate's digital transformation and competitiveness, making Dubai the smartest city in the world and a global destination for innovation and sustainability.'

5 facts about Dubai's game-changing flying taxis
Dubai looks set to be the first city in the world to introduce a flying taxi service. Set to arrive as early as the first few months of 2026, the emirate will initially welcome a small fleet of taxis with plans to eventually expand. Also known as eVTOLs (electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft), the fleet will allow people living in Dubai to regularly take flight within the city. While the majority of residents know that flying taxis are coming soon, you may not know these five fascinating facts about them. 1. Dubai's flying taxis will be affordable (Credit: Uber) It was revealed in 2024 that flying taxi rides in Dubai will be competitively priced, similar to a trip in an Uber Black. Uber Black is the premium option on the ride-hailing app and is priced at a base fare of Dhs23, with additional charges of Dhs1.90 per km and Dhs0.80 per minute. While the exact structure of Dubai's flying taxi payment system has not yet been revealed, manufacturers Joby Aviation aim for trips to cost approximately what they would have on the ground. 2. Dubai's flying taxis will carry up to four passengers Credit: Joby Aviation The flying taxis are designed to transport a pilot and up to four passengers. Aircraft will travel at speeds of up to 200mph and have been designed to feel more like getting inside a big car than boarding a plane. The flying cabs will be powered by six motors and take off and land vertically. Six motors will provide greater safety during flight than a standard helicopter, which typically only has one rotor spinning. So, if one rotor happens to fail ,then there will be an extra five to keep your journey going. 3. Dubai's first 4 flying taxi stations revealed The first four skyport sites have been revealed and this is how your ticket will look. Credit: Joby/Canva It has been confirmed that the first four vertiports (which allow taxis to take off and land vertically) will be placed at Dubai International Airport, Dubai Downtown, Dubai Marina and Palm Jumeirah. The vertiport at Dubai International Airport will launch in the first quarter of 2026, and the first-ever commercial flying taxi flight is scheduled to take off from there. These four points have been chosen firstly as a way to connect the airport to key hotels in the city, according to Al Awadhi of the RTA. But plans outlined by the manufacturers JOBY Aviation, are for the air taxi to eventually be as common as taking a bus in the city. And in June 2025, the General Civil Aviation Authority revealed plans to allow flying taxis in the UAE to take off and land at helipads. So, there could be more than the initial four options for flying taxi flights. 4. Dubai's flying taxis will emit zero emissions (Credit: Joby Aviation) That's right. The fleet of flying taxis taking to the skies will emit zero operating emissions. And this is because the aircraft will be powered by six electric motors instead of relying on fuel to get around. The company collaborating with the RTA boasts of no CO2, no particulates, no NOx and no SO2 emissions during flights. So, while air travel is generally considered one of the major causes of carbon emissions globally, there should be no such worries when taking an internal flight in Dubai. 5. Dubai's flying taxis will be quiet Typically, aircraft are some of the largest contributors to sound pollution in the world. However, the engineers behind the flying cabs coming to Dubai realised that for it to function in a city as busy as ours that it would need to be as quiet as possible. The aircraft is said to be 'quieter than a typical conversation', with it registering 45.2 A-weighted decibels when flying overhead at an altitude of 1,640 feet (500 metres) during test flights. By comparison, a Boeing jet engine registers at around 140 decibels when taking off, similar to the launch of a rocket.

Too big to bury: council imposes ‘fat tax' on graves
A cash-strapped council is embroiled in a 'fat tax' row after introducing higher charges for bigger burial plots at one of its cemeteries. A 6ft-wide plot at Danescourt Cemetery in Tettenhall, Wolverhampton will cost families £2,700 – a 20pc premium on the cost of a standard 5ft grave. Critics said that it shows a 'lack of empathy for what a family goes through'. The Labour-run authority made the decision in May, a month after increasing council tax by the maximum amount of 4.99pc. Ross Hickton, of Hickton Family Funeral Directors in the West Midlands, told The Telegraph the 'fat tax' would 'push more people into funeral poverty'. He added: 'If you live in Wolverhampton, you have the right to be buried here without extra costs. You shouldn't be paying a premium for a basic right. It shows a lack of empathy for what a family goes through.' 'Under the radar' decision Mr Hickton claimed that the council failed to consult the public on the changes and only reached out to local funeral directors: 'Wolverhampton passed this under the radar. 'If you've paid into the system your whole life, through council tax and income tax, you shouldn't be forced to pay an additional 20pc tax.' The decision to introduce the extra charge was made after an increase in demand for larger graves, the council told the BBC. The city has higher than normal obesity rates of 33.3pc, compared with the national average of 25.9pc, according to a 2021 survey. One of the first councils to introduce higher fees for larger graves was Houghton Regis Town Council in 2009. On its website, the Bedfordshire town hall said: 'Where the coffin width is such that the burial encroaches into the next available burial plot, such that it cannot be used, the above fees will be increased by 50pc.' It would take the cost from £364 to £728. The National Society of Allied and Independent Funeral Directors asked its members if their council charged more for bigger plots. Out of 165 respondents, 25pc said yes. The BBC found that a third of 27 local authorities in the West Midlands charged more for wider graves.

Ditch Cornwall for my perfect seaside county this summer – we have better beaches, bays and incredible seaside campsites
I'VE lived in Dorset all my life, and these are the hidden gems that a lot of tourists don't know about. Dorset's most famous spots, like Durdle Door and the beaches at Bournemouth and Sandbanks, can get very busy during the summer months. Win one of 8 incredible holidays to the Caribbean, Mexico and Greece by voting in The Sun's Travel Awards - enter to win here But there are plenty of spots where you can escape the crowds - and even places where you can have a beach all to yourself. I'm a local expert from the blog Dorset Travel Guide, and this is my pick of the top hidden gems in the county. Kimmeridge Bay Durdle Door gets all the glory (and all the crowds), but there are plenty of other impressive spots on Dorset's Jurassic Coast. Kimmeridge Bay has all the best bits from fossils, to rock pools, clifftop coastal walks, and sheltered water for a wild swim. There's even a waterfall right on the beach, though it's usually only a trickle in summer. Tyneham Tyneham is Dorset's "lost village", abandoned during WWII when the MOD took over the area for training. They still own the land, so the ruined village is only open on select weekends and public holidays - always check the firing times first. It's free to visit (except a suggested £4 donation for the car park), and both the church and schoolhouse have been restored to give a glimpse of what life in rural 1940s England was like. There's also a lovely (and mostly flat) 1-mile walk down to one of my favourite secret beaches, Worbarrow Bay. The Dorset Hamlet of Seatown is Overlooked by Brits 11 11 Studland Bay Beaches & Nature Reserve Sandbanks is one of Dorset's most popular beaches, but just a short hop across Poole Harbour, you can enjoy the same pristine white sands without the crowds. Take the car ferry from Sandbanks to Studland for miles of soft sandy beaches and grassy dunes. Behind the bay is a lowland heath Nature Reserve, managed by the National Trust and home to another of my favourite hidden gems: the mysterious Agglestone Rock (said to have been thrown there by the devil). Swanage Railway Board a vintage steam train at Norden Station for a short-but-sweet ride through the Purbeck hills to reach the seaside at Swanage. The restored branch line runs right past the hilltop ruins of Corfe Castle - you can even break your journey here to explore the castle and village. My top tip is to pay extra for the 'Devon Belle' Pullman observation car, which has huge wraparound windows for the best views. Charmouth Beach Dorset's Jurassic Coast is famous for fossils, and my favourite place to go looking for them is West Beach in Charmouth. I always spot a few when I visit, mostly ammonites. Plus, the lovely shingle beaches at Charmouth are usually much less busy than at more popular Lyme Regis down the road. 11 Sculpture by the Lakes Wander through 26 acres of peaceful countryside in search of unique contemporary sculptures. This is the perfect tranquil escape as visitor numbers are limited to maintain the peace and quiet, and no under-14s are allowed. Parkdean's Warmwell Holiday Park is just down the road, surrounded by woodlands and a great place to enjoy the serenity of Dorset's countryside. Abbotsbury Swannery Tucked away on the Fleet Lagoon near Weymouth, Abbotsbury Swannery is a small nature reserve home to a huge colony of over 600 mute swans. The absolute best time to visit is in May and June, when the nests are filled with newly hatched baby cygnet - if you're lucky, you might even see one hatching. It's just down the road from the family-friendly West Fleet Holiday Farm campsite, which has hard-to-beat views of the Fleet Lagoon. Kingston Maurwood Animal Park & Gardens This historic country manor near Dorchester is now a college, but it's also one of Dorset's best free days out. There are 35 acres of formal gardens to explore, and a small (but excellent) animal park where you can get up close with goats, donkeys, rabbits, pigs, and more. It's completely free to enter, and there are also indoor and outdoor play areas. Don't miss the brilliant onsite farm shop, which is packed with local produce, crafts, and gifts. Dorchester makes a great base for exploring the area on a budget: there's a Premier Inn right next to the train station, and prices are usually much lower than seaside spots like Weymouth. Winspit Quarry & Dancing Ledge Winspit is a defunct quarry above a rocky cove on a particularly rugged stretch of coastline. The chalk cliffs are littered with building remains and echoing caves (which some visitors explore - at their own risk). Park at Worth Matravers car park and walk down to the coast. I love combining Winspit with a walk east along the cliffs to Dancing Ledge, a man-made tidal swimming pool blasted into the cliffs by quarrymen. 11 Church Ope Cove & Pirate Graveyard Wild and rocky Church Ope Cove on the Isle of Portland is one of Dorset's best secret beaches. There's a tiny, free carpark in Wakeham, opposite Pennsylvania Castle. From there, it's a tricky climb down to the beach via a steep cliffside staircase. On your way down, explore the ruins of St Andrews Church and the so-called Pirates' Graveyard: look out for skull-and-crossbones on some of the graves. There aren't really any pirates buried here, but according to local legend, the church and cove were once used by smugglers. Cerne Abbas Giant It's hard to hold back a smirk when you see the Cerne Abbas Giant, a huge chalk figure of a nude man wielding a club and standing proudly to attention on the hillside. You can walk right past him on Giant Hill, but the best views are from a layby on Acreman Street. Blue Pool Nature Reserve & Tearooms A magically colour-changing lake hidden in a Dorset woodland? It's not a children's story: the Blue Pool is a flooded former quarry where the clay in the water makes the colour look different depending on the light. Sometimes it's unnaturally blue, sometimes very green or turquoise. 11 West Bay West Bay is one of my favourite days out in Dorset: towering golden cliffs, a fantastic shingle beach that's rarely (if ever) crowded, and a lively working harbour. Fans of ITV's Broadchurch may recognise the iconic cliffs, this tiny fishing village was the show's main filming location. Nearby Freshwater Bay Holiday Park is a great base for exploring West Dorset - and has its own private beach. They also allow day visitors outside of school holidays: I love taking my nieces and nephews to use the indoor pool and bowling alley. 11 Brownsea Island Hop on a ferry from Poole Quay to reach Brownsea Island, a National Trust nature reserve and one of the only places in the UK where you can still see red squirrels. You can walk around the whole island in a matter of hours, so it's ideal for a day trip to get away from it all. If you feel like being extra adventurous, you can kayak or paddleboard to the island. Tout Quarry Sculpture Park & Nature Reserve Tout Quarry feels like it should be much better-known than it is, but I've often had the place completely to myself! It's an abandoned quarry that was turned into a sculpture park, where you can wander amongst the rocks and wildflowers in search of stone sculptures - including a piece by Anthony Gormley. Summer is my favourite time to visit, when the wildflowers and butterflies are out in full force. 11 Dorset Adventure Park I love a good challenge, and the Dorset Adventure Park is perfect for thrill seekers. You can get wet and wild on the inflatable, floating obstacle course in the water park, or get dirty on the 2km Mud Trail assault course. I recommend bringing something to sit on for the car ride home!
