Dubai-Sharjah traffic: Where motorists face the worst evening rush-hour delays

## Major Traffic Congestion

Motorists traveling from Dubai to Sharjah are experiencing significant delays due to heavy traffic on key routes. The evening rush hour is particularly challenging on Sheikh Zayed Road, Al Khail Road, and Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road.

## Sheikh Zayed Road

Sheikh Zayed Road (E11) is heavily congested, especially through areas like Dubai Marina, Al Barsha, and Business Bay. Construction work and accidents are exacerbating the situation, with traffic remaining dense from Garhoud to Sahara Centre in Sharjah.

## Al Khail Road

On Al Khail Road (E44), traffic is slow-moving between Dubai Hills Estate and Meydan. Additional congestion is noted around Ras Al Khor and near the Dubai Production City exit.

## Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road

Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road (E311) is experiencing very slow traffic from Nad Al Sheba to Muhaisnah. Moderate congestion is also affecting areas around Arabian Ranches and Dubai South.

## Emirates Road

Emirates Road (E611) is mostly smooth, but pockets of congestion are present around Remraam, Academic City, and Al Awir. Construction at Al Badia Interchange is causing further delays.

Drivers are advised to plan for extra travel time, maintain safe distances, and consider alternative routes to avoid the worst of the evening rush hour traffic.
