Residents of Al Tawoon, Al Majaz, Al Khan, and Al Mamzar in Sharjah now experience smoother daily commutes. A recently opened traffic diversion on Al Tawoon Street has significantly reduced travel time, cutting up to 25 minutes during rush hours.
Previously, congestion on the single exit from Al Ittihad Road into Al Tawoon Street caused major delays. Traffic often stretched back to Nesto Supermarket, frustrating commuters. Drivers heading to Al Khan and Al Mamzar faced additional challenges, including taking inconvenient U-turns at a roundabout.
Now, the new traffic diversion has solved these issues, transforming long waits into quick drives. Residents report taking only three to four minutes to reach their destinations after entering Sharjah. This improvement has provided much-needed relief, making everyday travel more predictable and stress-free.
Sharjah Traffic Woes
However, traveling from Sharjah to Dubai continues to be a challenge for many residents. The main highways connecting the two emirates, particularly Al Ittihad Road and Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road, are frequently clogged with traffic, especially during rush hours.
As thousands of Sharjah residents commute to Dubai for work, school, or business, they often face long delays, particularly in the mornings when congestion is at its peak. This results in long journeys, with commuters sometimes spending over an hour to reach their destinations. The situation worsens during holidays or special events when traffic volumes are even higher.
Despite this, the success of the new diversion on Al Tawoon Street has inspired hope for future solutions. Authorities are being encouraged to address congestion in other parts of Sharjah and to improve connections to Dubai.
As Sharjah continues to grow, such traffic management measures are essential. Infrastructure improvements play a crucial role in enhancing the city’s overall livability. The success of this diversion underscores how practical solutions can make a meaningful impact on daily life. Residents now eagerly anticipate more projects to ensure smoother travel across the city.
