Dubai’s RTA Announces 40 New Delivery Rider Rest Stops

Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) is planning to build 40 air-conditioned rest areas for delivery riders in key areas across Dubai.

The initiative aims to enhance road safety, foster wellbeing and reduce the risks of road accidents.

By providing these facilities, RTA seeks to offer comfortable amenities to delivery riders while waiting for new orders, thereby increasing their overall happiness rating, and encouraging them to comply with traffic laws and regulations.

The exterior of the rest areas was designed to reduce the impact of sunlight and ensure proper insulation without compromising the view.

Each rest area is air-conditioned and equipped with a snack dispenser, water cooler and mobile phone charging station.

Each rest area accommodates up to 10 people, depending on the district and has ample parking spaces for motorcycles adjacent to the facility.

Mattar Al Tayer, Director General, Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of the Roads and Transport Authority, said: “Traffic safety is a top priority and RTA is keen to implement the traffic safety strategy in place for the emirate aimed to rank Dubai a global leader in traffic safety.

“The construction of these rest areas is part of RTA’s efforts to provide a proper working environment
