Dubai Cyclists: Know The Rules For Safe Riding On New Cycling Tracks

Published on : 14-03-2024

First Cycling Track Starts At Qur'anic Park.

Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has inaugurated two new cycling tracks in the Al Khawaneej and Mushrif areas. These tracks, extending 7 kilometres, seamlessly connect with existing tracks in the two districts, which already span 32 kilometres. As a result of this expansion, the combined length of cycling tracks in these residential communities now reaches 39 kilometres.

The timing of this extension is particularly noteworthy, coinciding with the oncoming of the holy month of Ramadan. During this period, residents and visitors actively participate in physical activities, including cycling.

Mattar Al Tayer, the Director-General and Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors at RTA, emphasized that this project aligns with the vision of Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of the Executive Council. The goal is to transform Dubai into a bicycle-friendly city by providing suitable alternatives and encouraging residents to embrace cycling. This initiative also supports the Dubai Urban Plan 2040, which aims to position Dubai as one of the world's most desirable cities for living.

He added, "Expanding the cycling tracks is part of RTA's plan to construct dedicated tracks for walking and cycling across Dubai to motivate individuals to engage in sports and leisure activities, thereby enhancing quality of life. It also translates RTA's commitment to improving the interconnectivity between existing cycling tracks in residential areas and the neighbourhood's top attractions."

The first cycling track starts at Qur'anic Park on Sheikh Zayed bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Street and continues to intersect with Al Khawaneej Street. It then crosses the street via a combined pedestrian and cyclist bridge, linking with the existing cycling track.

The second track begins at Mushrif Park, near Crocodile Park, and extends to intersect with Sheikh Zayed bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Street. From there, it runs northward along the street until it crosses Al Khawaneej Street through another pedestrian and cyclist bridge, connecting with the cycling track in Al Khawaneej.

The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) aims to connect key districts across the emirate through an extensive cycling track network. Their plan includes expanding the total length from 544 km to 1,000 km by 2030. Coastal areas like Jumeirah, Marina, and Al Sufouh will be linked to external tracks in Al Qudra, Nad Al Sheba, and Saih Al Salam via Al Barsha, Nad Al Sheba, and Dubai Hills districts.

Track Speed Limits:

  • On tracks designated for amateur sports cyclists and those shared with vehicles on safe roads, the speed limit is 30 km/hr.
  • Cyclists must adhere to a speed limit of 20 km/hr for tracks designated or shared with pedestrians within urban areas.
  • On training tracks across the city, cyclists can ride at unlimited speeds.
