The UAE has identified a rapid rise in private-vehicle ownership — growing over 8% annually, overlapping school and work timings, and heavy inter-emirate commuting, especially between Dubai and the Northern Emirates, as the top causes of traffic jams. According to government data, some commuters lose up to 460 hours a year (about 60 working days) stuck in traffic. To tackle this, the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure is rolling out new mobility policies, smarter traffic systems, and improved public transport options. Plans include a 24-hour integrated traffic-monitoring centre, AI-powered congestion management, and upgraded public transport networks. A key long-term solution is the Etihad Rail passenger service, set to launch by 2026, connecting major cities to ease road pressure. With population and car numbers rising fast, do you think better public transport or stricter car-ownership policies will be more effective in solving the UAE’s traffic problem?
