Al Meydan Street Connectivity
Al Meydan Street is an increasingly important connection between Meydan, Al Khail Road, Sheikh Zayed Road and surrounding central Dubai districts. RTA completed traffic upgrades in 2025 that widened key connections between Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Meydan Street, increasing capacity on the relevant exit from 1,500 to 3,000 vehicles per hour.
RTA also increased the capacity of the bridge over First Al Khail Street from 4,500 to 6,000 vehicles per hour. These figures describe infrastructure capacity at specific upgraded sections and should not be used as advertising impressions.
