The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) in Dubai has introduced smart electronic gates on the Dubai-Hatta road and several other highways in desert regions. This initiative aims to enhance traffic flow and improve road safety by preventing stray animals from entering roadways, thereby reducing the risk of accidents.

Advanced Safety Measures

In an announcement made on social media platform X, the RTA emphasized that these gates are part of its broader strategy to ensure safer and smoother travel across the emirate. The system is designed to detect and deter potential hazards, such as animals wandering onto busy roads, which can pose serious threats to drivers.

As part of its future development plans, the RTA confirmed that additional electronic gates would be installed in various locations throughout 2025, further solidifying Dubai’s position as a leader in innovative traffic management solutions.

A Regional Trend in Road Safety

Dubai’s smart gate initiative reflects a wider trend across the UAE to leverage technology for enhanced road safety. For instance, Ajman recently activated a smart monitoring system on October 1, targeting traffic violations.

This system, operational at 26 electronic gate locations, employs AI-powered cameras to identify infractions such as mobile phone use while driving and seatbelt non-compliance. The aim is to encourage safer driving habits and reduce accidents, benefiting both motorists and pedestrians alike.

Commitment to Safer Roads

These efforts underscore the UAE's commitment to improving road safety through cutting-edge technologies and proactive measures. By integrating smart solutions like electronic gates and AI-driven monitoring systems, authorities aim to create a safer environment for residents and visitors across the emirates.
