Dubai To Build 19 Truck Rest Stops

Dubai To Build 19 Truck Rest Stops

Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) is constructing 19 trucks rest stops and lay-bys across several hotspots in Dubai in collaboration with the private sector. The project includes three integrated trucks lay-bys.

One in partnership with the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) and two in partnership with Almutakamela Vehicle Testing and Registration.

In cooperation with ADNOC, RTA will also construct 16 truck rest stops across Dubai in six key locations, strategic roads, and logistic cities that attract a huge number of trucks daily.

Locations include:

- Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road

- Emirates Road

- Dubai-Hatta Road

- Dubai-Al Ain Road

- Jebel Ali – Lehbab Road

- Al Aweer Road

The total area of the 19 trucks’ rest stops and lay-bys is more than 300,000sq m, with a capacity to accommodate more than 1,000 trucks and heavy vehicles.

The three integrated truck lay-bys provide a host of services that step up the safety and well-being of drivers such as diesel-refuelling stations, motels, maintenance workshops, restaurants, administrative buildings, prayer rooms, driving training centres, clinics, pharmacies, exchange shops, laundry, and other support services and facilities for the safety and wellbeing of heavy vehicle drivers.

The truck rest stops include service facilities, prayer rooms, diesel refuelling stations, restaurants, maintenance workshops, and rest areas
