noted Al Tayer.

“The Business Bay Crossing Gate contributes to

rerouting traffic from Jebel Ali towards Sheikh

Mohammed bin Zayed and Emirates Roads. This

diversion reduces traffic on Al Khail Road by 15% to

2,053 vehicles per hour. It also reduced the traffic on Al

Rebat Street by 16% to 1,218 vehicles per hour. It will also

decrease the traffic volume on Financial Centre Street by

about 5% and cut down the total travel time on the

congested section of Al Khail Road between Al Rebat

Street and Ras Al Khor Road by about 20,000 hours daily

in both directions. “Installing the operational Al Safa

South Gate reduces the traffic turning right from Sheikh

Zayed Road to Al Meydan Street by 15%. It also cuts

down the traffic flow from Al Meydan and Al Safa Streets

to Sheikh Zayed Road by 42% to 1,070 vehicles per hour.

It also helps decrease the traffic volume on Sheikh Zayed

Road between Financial Centre and Latifa Bint Hamdan

Streets by 4% and optimise the use of the First Al Khail

and Al Asayel Roads by up to 4%,”
