The relentless rain in Dubai brought traffic to a standstill, leading authorities to clear roads and manage floodwaters. The downpour, which reached its peak during the evening rush hour, caused water pools on several roads and bottlenecks on busy highways, prompting police to issue notices advising drivers to take alternative routes. They also advised those traveling to or from the airport to use the Metro to avoid traffic jams. Real-time updates and safety advisories were provided by Dubai authorities while their response teams worked to tackle the impact of heavy rain.
The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) shared photos showing workers clearing obstructions and managing traffic flow on congested roads. Some workers even waded through the flood to carry out repairs, and mobile pumping machines were deployed to drain out rainwater. The RTA credited their swift response to the teams from Dubai Police, the Dubai Municipality, and Nakheel.
The RTA’s reliable response in handling the situation was evident, demonstrating cooperation between different entities to address the impact of heavy rain.
