Despite the ongoing improvements in road infrastructure, moving around many streets in Dubai, the peak hours are complicated by traffic jams. By 2020, 3.2 million people will live in the city and about a million more will come to it from neighboring cities for work or business. The Dubai Road Transport Committee (RTA) sees the solution to the problem as an integrated approach. The expansion of roads and the construction of new interchanges is combined with the introduction of new technologies. Since the beginning of 2015, the project for optimizing traffic using a system to prevent the formation of congestion is entering the second phase.RTA calls on all drivers to more actively use the navigation and traffic jam warning system recently developed on behalf of the Committee and to help improve it, leaving their comments. The Smart Drive program has already been downloaded about 300 thousand times. Dubai also continues to work to make the city more friendly and safer for pedestrians. If many areas of Dubai are a pleasant and safe place for walking, crossing its main highways is still a problem for pedestrians. In 2006, when the RTA developed the first pedestrian safety plan, they accounted for 44% of deaths on Dubai's roads. Thanks to the implementation of this plan, it was possible to reduce the number of dead pedestrians by 40% from 78 in 2009 to 50 in 2013. Mostly pedestrians die due to the intersection of roads in the wrong places.
