Great move!

Great move!

Gulf Today16-06-2025
The MoHRE's initiative to build 10,000+ air conditioned rest areas for delivery riders is a commendable move ('Over 10,000 rest stations provided for delivery workers across UAE during Midday Break', Gulf Today, June 10.) Working outside in this scorching heat is risky. The cool rest areas help prevent dehydration and heat exhaustion for delivery workers.
Riders can take break there during the midday work break. These rest areas give delivery workers a safe, cool place to rest. We must appreciate the effort of MoHRE, RTA and others for valuing the health, safety for these workers. Hats off to the MoHRE and it is indeed an example for the entire world.

RTA implements Quick Wins at Ras Al Khor–Al Meydan Intersection

The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has implemented Quick Wins for the traffic coming from Ras Al Khor towards Al Meydan Street Interchange. The works include widening the right-turn for vehicles coming from Ras Al Khor towards Al Meydan Street Interchange by increasing the number of lanes from two to three. This improvement, scheduled for completion on August 10, will enhance traffic flow between Ras Al Khor Industrial Area and Nad Al Sheba, and facilitate the movement of vehicles heading towards Al Meydan Street Intersection and the surrounding areas. The enhancements, scheduled for completion by 10 August, are expected to improve traffic flow between Ras Al Khor Industrial Area and Nad Al Sheba, while also easing movement for vehicles travelling towards Al Meydan Street and surrounding areas. These improvements reflect RTA's ongoing commitment to keeping pace with the accelerating urban development and population growth witnessed across the Emirate. Through the continuous enhancement of road infrastructure and the broader transport network, RTA aims to improve operational efficiency, reduce travel times, alleviate congestion, and enhance road safety for all users. This improvement, which increases the number of lanes from two to three for vehicles coming from Ras Al Khor towards Al Meydan Street Interchange, will play a major role in enhancing the mobility experience for vehicles heading towards Business Bay, Ghadeer Al Tair, Al Quoz, Al Safa, and the development projects surrounding these areas. This will be achieved by increasing the vehicle capacity from 1,800 to 2,700 vehicles per hour, a 30% increase. This will positively impact traffic flow and reduce congestion and waiting time at intersections during peak hours. RTA is delivering these traffic improvements under a strategic plan that is regularly reviewed and updated. Roads selected for enhancement are identified based on four key inputs analysed concurrently: traffic studies, control centre, public feedback, and field monitoring conducted by RTA's operational teams.
