The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) of Dubai has started updating the road markings at 89 locations across the city. This includes highways, main roads, residential streets, and key intersections. This work is part of the 2025 Preventive Maintenance Plan for road markings and signs, which is a part of RTA’s annual plan to maintain the safety and quality of the roads in Dubai.

As part of the plan, 50 major roads will have their markings re-done. These roads include Sheikh Zayed bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Street, First Al Khail Road, 2nd December Street, Al Khawaneej Street, Amman Street, Zabeel Street, and Al Manama Street. The work will also cover 39 residential areas such as Al Awir, Umm Hurair, Oud Al Muteena, Al Twar, Al Barsha, Al Sufouh, and Al Qusais Industrial Area.

The project also involves repainting red surfacing in areas that are designed to slow down traffic, like speed reduction zones along major roads. The team will also repaint box junctions at busy intersections, parking areas, and places with traffic-calming measures like speed humps.
