UAE traffic: Moving well across the country, except in Sharjah



Traffic was slow across a number of roads in Sharjah this morning.

There were tailbacks on Al Itihad Street, starting from near the Adnoc garage and running up until Dubai International Airport.

It was also slow in stretches of Damascus Street where it crosses the Sharjah Ring Road and in Dubai in Al Qusais Street.

And there were tailbacks, as usual, on Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road, starting from Sharjah Industrial Area 13, past National Paints and all the way to Dubai International Airport.

Traffic was moving well across Dubai and in the capital.
