Motorists may also experience slower traffic along Al Karamah Street near Mubadala Tower, as well as on sections of Al Khaleej Al Arabi Street around Parallel Cafe and the Al Bateen Palace area.

Heavy congestion remains relatively limited, with only brief stretches of slow-moving traffic reported around major signal-controlled intersections along Al Karamah Street and Sultan Bin Zayed The First Street.

Motorists using these routes may experience minor delays, particularly when approaching busy junctions during peak travel periods.

Traffic is generally moving smoothly across the outer areas of Mussafah and Mohamed Bin Zayed City, including Sireef Street, roads surrounding Abu Dhabi University, and stretches of the E22.

Motorists travelling through these areas are currently experiencing relatively steady traffic conditions, with no major congestion reported on the main routes.

Moderate congestion is being reported along Al Hiraf Street near M9, M14 and Mazyad Mall, as well as on the main Mussafah Sanaiya road around Thrifty Car Rental and Burjeel Medical City.

Motorists may also encounter slower-moving traffic along the corridor bordering ICAD I and ME12, including connecting roads near NMC Royal Hospital and Mohamed Bin Zayed City.
