RTA, in coordination with Dubai Police, announced the expansion of the Traffic Incident Management Unit project.

Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), in coordination with Dubai Police
General HQ, announced the expansion of the Traffic Incident Management Unit project.

By the end of 2024, four additional main road corridors will be integrated into the
project, which will increase the coverage from 13 to 17 traffic corridors and streets. The
expansion extends the total road covered by the Unit to 951km in both directions.

This step complements RTA’s ongoing efforts to achieve a set of targets aiming to
minimise secondary accidents, enhance traffic flow, and expedite the clearance of
vehicles involved in accidents in line with the top global practices.

Mattar Al Tayer, Director General, Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of the
Roads and Transport Authority, said, “The Traffic Incident Management project jointly
run with Dubai Police offers exceptional services to motorists, including addressing
vehicle breakdowns, swift management of accident scenes, and restoring normal traffic
flow.
