How to use Google Maps Dubai to avoid traffic congestion?

It’s a known fact that all major cities in the world have traffic congestion problems.

From bumper-to-bumper traffic in Sydney & London to the strangely functional chaotic streets of Egypt and New Delhi, traffic is a constant problem.

But the main difference between other cities and Dubai is that they all have alternative modes of transport, which includes trains, an efficient train system, bus network, metro systems, bicycle lanes and ample sidewalks. Sydney even has an extremely efficient ferry service.

Dubai, on the other hand, relies on its roads and on Google maps Dubai. Live traffic Dubai can reduce some of the frustration on the roads.

With the Dubai Metro still under construction, other means of transport are coming forward. A water taxi service, new buses, improved train system, or if you live in Dubai, you may soon be able to fly and beat traffic woes with a helicopter service.

As per Dr. Abdel Malik Ibrahim Abu Sheikhead of transportation studies and planning section

“The main problems that are being faced by the people include encouraging the use of public transport, congestion, transportation safety and improving the transportation environment.”

Live traffic Dubai problem

Sadly only a few of the people use Google maps Dubai to navigate in the city. Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) compiled a report in February last year and concluded that traffic congestion in Dubai alone cost the economy $790m in wasted fuel.

The current population of Dubai is 2,504,000 people and is expected to double by the year 2020, which will be an additional problem for the roads of Dubai.

Although RTA plans to extend its construction to 500km on roads, this includes 9 new ring roads around the city in the developing areas as Deira and Bur Dubai, Business Bay, Dubailand and the upcoming Jebel Ali Airport.

The RTA also aims to have a metro network in place that will cover 318km, a tram network of 270km, a bus network of 3,000km and a marine transport network spanning 450km.However, this willstill be difficult for live traffic Dubai to cope with the exponential population growth and arrival of new immigrants.

TimeOutDubai reported that “In September, Major General Mohammed Saif Al Zafeen, Director of the general directorate of traffic at Dubai Police, noted that 90 percent of traffic accidents occur as a result of excess speed. The casings for Dubai’s speed cameras are managed by the RTA, which according to Maitha bin Adai, Chief Executive of the Traffic and Roads Agency, has installed 450 radar stations and 230 intersection camera stations. The cameras themselves are installed by Dubai Police.”
