Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has successfully completed traffic enhancement works across three major intersections in Al Mankhool, one of Dubai's busiest mixed-use districts. The RTA Al Mankhool traffic improvement project targets Kuwait Street Intersection, 12A Street Intersection, and 10C Street Intersection — and is part of the authority's ongoing programme to upgrade the city's road network.
What Changed at Each Al Mankhool Intersection
At the Kuwait Street and 10C Street junction, the RTA reduced right-in and right-out lanes from two to one and introduced a new U-turn movement on 10C Street. Both changes are designed to improve traffic safety and reduce the number of collisions at this busy crossing.
At the Kuwait Street and 12A Street junction, engineers relocated the U-turn on Kuwait Street to extend the storage lane. Combined with improved traffic-light phasing, the adjustment cuts delays by 30% — a significant reduction for drivers who use this corridor daily.
The removal of overlapping traffic movements between 10C Street and 12A Street further improves safety on Kuwait Street overall.
130,000 Residents and Schoolchildren to Benefit
Hussain Al Banna, CEO of the Traffic and Roads Agency at RTA, said the enhancements would improve the free flow of traffic around Al Mankhool and its surrounding neighbourhoods. The project benefits approximately 130,000 residents and school-going children in the area.
Al Mankhool is a primary commercial hub in Dubai, home to hospitality businesses, hospitals, retail outlets, and wholesale trade enterprises — making smooth traffic flow critical to everyday life and commerce.
Part of Dubai's Broader Road Network Upgrade
The Al Mankhool works are one component of RTA's wider road improvement programme, which aims to support Dubai's economic growth, accommodate a rising population, and maintain the emirate's status as a global city. Reducing congestion and eliminating traffic conflict points are central pillars of that strategy.
RTA's completed upgrades in Al Mankhool represent a meaningful improvement to traffic signals and intersection design that will boost commercial activity and ease the daily commute for residents across the district.
