Dubai's commitment to enhancing its cycling infrastructure took a significant leap forward with the inauguration of new cycling tracks in Al Khawaneej and Mushrif. These tracks, spanning 7 km, seamlessly connect with existing routes, further bolstering Dubai's reputation as a bicycle-friendly city. The expansion, coinciding with the holy month of Ramadan, aims to encourage residents and visitors to embrace cycling as a healthy and sustainable mode of transportation and leisure activity.
Strategic Vision for a Bicycle-Friendly Dubai
Under the visionary leadership of His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of the Executive Council, the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) embarked on a mission to transform Dubai into a premier destination for cyclists. This initiative aligns with the Dubai Urban Plan 2040, which envisions Dubai as the world's best city for living.
Enhancing Connectivity and Accessibility
The new cycling tracks in Al Khawaneej and Mushrif mark a significant milestone in RTA's master plan to create a comprehensive network of walking and cycling tracks across Dubai. By connecting key residential areas with popular attractions, these tracks promote physical activity and improve the overall quality of life for residents and visitors alike.
Detailed Route Information
The first cycling track, starting at Qur'anic Park on Sheikh Zayed bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Street, extends to Al Khawaneej Street, seamlessly integrating with the existing cycling track. The second track, originating from Mushrif Park near Crocodile Park, intersects with Sheikh Zayed bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Street, eventually linking with the Al Khawaneej cycling track. These meticulously designed routes offer cyclists a safe and enjoyable riding experience.
Commitment to International Standards and Safety
Throughout the planning and construction process, RTA adhered to the highest international standards to ensure the safety and efficiency of the cycling tracks. With designated speed limits and careful consideration for track classifications, RTA emphasizes the importance of safety for both cyclists and pedestrians. By promoting responsible cycling practices, RTA aims to create a harmonious environment for all track users.
Looking Towards the Future
The expansion of cycling tracks in Al Khawaneej and Mushrif is just one step in RTA's broader vision to create a comprehensive cycling network spanning the entire emirate. With plans to extend the total length of cycling tracks to 1,000 km by 2030, Dubai is poised to become a global leader in sustainable urban mobility.
