Being one of the most progressive and fastest-developing cities in the world and with the focus on the construction of state-of-the-art infrastructure and transportation facilities, Dubai offers a very curious and somewhat experimental approach to developing a highly efficient transportation system. Analyzing how cars and other vehicles work and move around the city is informative especially given the changes that demographics have on the transport sector in Dubai.
The operations of vehicles in Dubai are well regulated and disciplined by the rules and regulation set by the Roads and Transport Authority in Dubai abbreviated as (RTA). To operate a vehicle legally in Dubai, individuals are required to under the laws of RTA to possess valid driving license which involves a theory test and road test.
runways in the island are paved, network of multi-lane highways, good streets, and magnificent infrastructures are some of the features that describe the city’s roads and transport systems to denote the new and developed Dubai. Most roads are characterized with sophisticated systems of traffic control, including traffic signals, surveillance cameras, and systems for electronic toll collection for efficiency and safety purposes.
Horn is like combining two of the best recent vehicles, while traffic rules in Dubai includes following traffic laws and regulations such as; speed limits, lane discipline, and signaling. Specifically, the drivers are expected to be careful, considerate and elaborative especially to other road users, which include; pedestrians, cyclists and other drivers.
One interesting aspect worth noting about Dubai’s transport infrastructure is that it boasts of smart technology that seeks to optimize the transport system’s efficiency. To this end, it has shifted its attention to providing and/or promoting technologies like autonomous vehicles, EVs, and smart city systems as a means of enhancing productivity while finding ways of managing the traffic congestion and the resulting environmental effects.
Thus, the case of Dubai also sheds light on the fact that much of the development of the transportation system which has grown in to a wonder of world, is sustainable and excellent. Through providing safety, reliability, and convenience, Dubai remains the example of how to build progressive city, where people can easily and conveniently move around in their cars.
