Traffic in Dubai


After two months driving in Dubai, I already use to drive on their lefthanded car and busy street to work and shopping.
There are several highway from Dubai to other town like Abu Dhabi and Sharjah. Even the highway Sheikh Zayed Road that from my staying place to downtown also as long as few hundred kilometers. It was 7 lanes on each driving side with a lot of flyovers and main road across. The new train line Metro also under construction on the road side with several stations.

The speed limit here set as minimum 60kmh and maximum 120kmh. But some of the drivers sped up to 120~150kmh. That is why sometime we are stuck in the jam due to some accidents. Some area the RTA (Road & Transport Authorities) set up the electronic toll gate "SALIK" to control the tracffic flow. Each passing the gate they dudect 4.5dhs (S$1.80) from the electronic device install the the windscreen.

Above are the photos taken during I am driving on the road..... ..
