According to live traffic monitoring maps, vehicles are moving at reduced speeds along Al Khail Road, particularly on the stretch connecting Al Quoz to Business Bay, where multiple traffic incidents have been reported.
Slow-moving traffic is also affecting Ras Al Khor Road, especially between Dubai Design District and Nadd Al Hamar.
