Drivers coming from Al Ain to Dubai on the E44 Al Awir Road can expect delays as an accident has caused bumper-to-bumper congestion backed up to the Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Street exit.
Police said that an accident occurred this morning and that the authorities are working on clearing it for commuters coming into the city.
Drivers coming into that intersection from the northern emirates will also experience heavy delays outbound from Sharjah on Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road.
Traffic in Abu Dhabi capital is running smoothly. Commuters coming from the Western Region should expect no delays.

Types of bank fraud
1) Phishing
Fraudsters send an unsolicited email that appears to be from a financial institution or online retailer. The hoax email requests that you provide sensitive information, often by clicking on to a link leading to a fake website.
2) Smishing
The SMS equivalent of phishing. Fraudsters falsify the telephone number through “text spoofing,” so that it appears to be a genuine text from the bank.
3) Vishing
The telephone equivalent of phishing and smishing. Fraudsters may pose as bank staff, police or government officials. They may persuade the consumer to transfer money or divulge personal information.
4) SIM swap
Fraudsters duplicate the SIM of your mobile number without your knowledge or authorisation, allowing them to conduct financial transactions with your bank.
5) Identity theft
Someone illegally obtains your confidential information, through various ways, such as theft of your wallet, bank and utility bill statements, computer intrusion and social networks.
6) Prize scams
Fraudsters claiming to be authorised representatives from well-known organisations (such as Etisalat, du, Dubai Shopping Festival, Expo2020, Lulu Hypermarket etc) contact victims to tell them they have won a cash prize and request them to share confidential banking details to transfer the prize money.
