Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has completed the second phase of its Smart Pedestrian Signal Expansion Project, installing intelligent crossing systems at 10 new locations, bringing the total to 27 across the city. The initiative aims to enhance road safety and traffic efficiency using smart technologies that detect pedestrian movement in real time.

The latest installations include intersections along key roads such as Omar Bin Al Khattab Street, Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Street, Al Satwa Street, Salah Al Din Street, Amman Street, Al Qusais Street, and Oud Metha Street. These locations were selected based on factors such as accident history, traffic volume, and road design. 'The system uses intelligent thermal cameras and push-button devices to detect pedestrians day and night, ensuring accurate signal timing and safer crossings,' said Mohammed Al Ali, Director of Intelligent Traffic Systems at RTA. 'Dynamic sensors also adjust signal duration based on walking speed, catering to the needs of seniors, children, and People of Determination.' Al Ali noted that since becoming operational, the smart signals have demonstrated measurable improvements in safety and traffic flow. The RTA continues to assess and prioritise new locations through a data-driven approach to expand the system further. News Source: Emirates News Agency
