RTA Announces 5-Month Traffic Reroute Near Arabian Ranches
Big changes are coming to Dubai roads—especially if you drive near Arabian Ranches. The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has announced a major traffic diversion at the Arabian Ranches–Dubai Studio City junction starting June 22, and it's expected to last for five months.
This move is part of ongoing construction work to build a bridge and improve traffic flow along Al Qudra Road, a key link between multiple fast-growing residential and business areas.
What's changing?
One major update: the traffic light at the intersection between Arabian Ranches and Dubai Studio City will be removed. Instead, vehicles will be rerouted outside the intersection zone, enabling a free flow of traffic between Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road and Sheikh Zayed bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Street.
To keep things moving, the RTA is also rolling out two new signal-free U-turn points, which should help reduce congestion and streamline commuting patterns in the area.
Plan ahead
If you live in or commute through the Arabian Ranches, Dubai Studio City, or Al Qudra Road area, the RTA is advising you to plan your journeys in advance, allow for extra travel time, and follow signage throughout the diversion period.
Whether you're heading to work, school, or that weekend brunch, expect detours—and maybe a few delays. But the goal? Smoother drives in the near future.
As part of our ongoing efforts to enhance traffic flow in #Dubai and improve intersections on Al Qudra Road, #RTA will implement a temporary traffic diversion at the Arabian Ranches junction starting 22 June 2025, for 5 months to implement bridge construction works.

Dubai Police rescue driver 'in minutes' after cruise control malfunctions on Sheikh Zayed Road
Dubai Police traffic patrols swiftly rescued a driver whose cruise control had unexpectedly malfunctioned on Sheikh Zayed Road, authorities said on Saturday. '(Our) operations room received a report about a vehicle travelling at a constant speed on Sheikh Zayed Road towards Abu Dhabi, with the female driver unable to regain control due to the cruise control malfunction,' said Maj Gen Saif Muhair Al Mazrouei, director of the General Department of Traffic at Dubai Police. 'Just minutes after receiving the report, the traffic patrols were immediately dispatched to the location and spotted the vehicle traveling in the fourth lane. 'They coordinated a careful escort while guiding the female driver through phone calls and direct instructions, informing her of the necessary steps to take in such situations to ensure her safety and that of others,' he added. How they did it Al Mazrouei explained one of the patrols positioned itself in front of the vehicle, gradually stopping it, while the other patrols secured the lane behind it. The patrols created a safe corridor in front of and behind the vehicle, keeping other cars at a distance to prevent any potential collisions, which allowed for a safe stop on the side of the road without any injuries or damage. Al Mazrouei said the swift response and effective coordination between the operations room and field patrols were vital for successfully managing the situation. He praised the traffic teams for their professional and compassionate handling of emergencies, demonstrating Dubai Police's commitment to rapid responses and road safety. He also urged all drivers to perform regular vehicle checks and ensure the safety of critical systems, such as brakes and cruise control, emphasising that awareness and preventive measures are essential to prevent dangerous malfunctions.
