Heavy Morning Traffic Affects Dubai–Sharjah Commute

Traffic is worsening during the morning commute between Dubai and Sharjah, as vehicles are moving slowly along primary highways and local roads, per Google Maps data.

Sheikh Zayed Road (E11) is witnessing significant delays around Business Bay and Al Barsha as traffic volumes surge in the peak hours.

Al Khail Road (E44) is also experiencing sluggish movement between Meydan and Ras Al Khor, compounded by multiple accidents that are extending travel times.

Congestion is reported on vital connecting routes such as Hessa Street (D61) and Umm Suqeim Street (D63), leaving drivers in stop-and-go conditions across various segments.

For those traveling to Sharjah, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road (E311) is seeing congested areas near Dubai South, close to Al Maktoum International Airport, as well as near Dubai Production City. The traffic flow remains heavy through Dubai Silicon Oasis (DSO) as well.

Conversely, Emirates Road (E611) is generally moving well, although delays between Athaib and Al Khawaneej toward Dubai are reported, with additional accidents noted in that vicinity.

Officials recommend that drivers allocate extra time for travel, keep safe distances, and explore alternate routes, given the rising traffic influx during morning hours across Dubai.
