RTA opens Al Majasimi and Al Wasl Road Intersection

Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has inaugurated a new signalised junction at Al Majasimi intersection and Al Wasl Road, situated between Umm Suqeim Street and Al Thanya Street. Construction included the installation of traffic signals to streamline the traffic flow and ease vehicles exiting from Umm Suqeim 3 leftward to Al Wasl Road. The project scope also included widening Al Majasimi Street from one to two lanes in each direction over a 200-metre sector leading up to the intersection.

The completion of these works is part of RTA's Quick Traffic Improvements Plan 2024 aimed at continuously upgrading the road network, easing traffic movement, and increasing road capacity besides stepping up traffic safety standards across the emirate.

The widening of Al Majasimi Street (from a single lane to dual lanes in both directions to and from Al Wasl Road), has doubled the capacity of the street from 1,200 to 2,400 vehicles per hour in each direction.

The improvements at the signalised junction of Al Majasimi Street and Al Wasl Road have added a new traffic stream at the intersection. It has now facilitated left turns from Al Majasimi Street onto Al Wasl Road, eliminating the need for a right turn onto Umm Suqeim
