Big changes are coming to Dubai roads—especially if you drive near Arabian Ranches. The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has announced a major traffic diversion at the Arabian Ranches–Dubai Studio City junction starting June 22, and it's expected to last for five months.

This move is part of ongoing construction work to build a bridge and improve traffic flow along Al Qudra Road, a key link between multiple fast-growing residential and business areas.

What’s changing?

One major update: the traffic light at the intersection between Arabian Ranches and Dubai Studio City will be removed. Instead, vehicles will be rerouted outside the intersection zone, enabling a free flow of traffic between Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road and Sheikh Zayed bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Street.

To keep things moving, the RTA is also rolling out two new signal-free U-turn points, which should help reduce congestion and streamline commuting patterns in the area.

Plan ahead

If you live in or commute through the Arabian Ranches, Dubai Studio City, or Al Qudra Road area, the RTA is advising you to plan your journeys in advance, allow for extra travel time, and follow signage throughout the diversion period.

Whether you're heading to work, school, or that weekend brunch, expect detours—and maybe a few delays. But the goal? Smoother drives in the near future.
