Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has completed the maintenance of 2,173 lighting units across four cycling and e-scooter tracks in Dubai. The tracks include Al Qudra, Jumeirah, Nad Al Sheba, and Mirdif and Mushrif cycling and e-scooter tracks. RTA is committed to providing safe pathways and clear visibility during evening hours by providing all that it takes to encourage individuals to engage in cycling, which will ultimately enhance the well-being of residents and visitors of Dubai.
Abdullah Lootah, Director of Roads and Facilities Maintenance at the Traffic and Roads Agency said, “RTA is keen to provide all facilities and infrastructure needed to guarantee that the public would happily enjoy practising their hobbies and sports on the cycling and e-scooter tracks. The maintenance of lighting units is a key element in RTA’s strategy to preserve its assets, ensure their quality and safety, extend their operational lifespan, and enhance their sustainability. Such efforts will guarantee clear visibility and smooth movement for track users according to the highest safety standards.”
“Roads and Transport conducts maintenance of lighting units on cycling and e-scooter tracks according to annually scheduled plans, which are divided into two parts: preventive maintenance, which involves checking the operational status of lighting poles, cleaning, lubricating, and ensuring the soundness of all electrical connections, and corrective maintenance, which is carried out only in the event of a malfunction in the lighting network,” Lootah added.
