Dubai Authorities Swiftly Respond to Heavy Rain, Clear Roads and Manage Traffic Disruptions

Dubai faced a deluge of rain, causing traffic disruptions during rush hour. Swift action was taken by authorities to clear roads and drain excess water. Bottlenecks emerged on major highways, prompting police advisories for alternative routes. Dubai Police even recommended using the Metro to bypass traffic, especially for airport travelers. Response teams, including those from the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), worked diligently to manage traffic flow and clear obstructions. Workers waded through flooded areas to conduct repairs, while mobile pumping machines were deployed to drain water. The coordinated efforts of Dubai Police, the Dubai Municipality, and Nakheel facilitated the rapid response.
