UAE: New Sharjah Diversion Cuts Travel Time from 20 to 3 Minutes

Residents of Al Tawoon, Al Majaz, Al Khan, and Al Mamzar can now get home faster thanks to a new traffic diversion on Al Tawoon Street. Previously, the single exit from Al Ittihad Road caused severe congestion, especially in the evenings. Now, traffic has significantly improved, reducing travel time by up to 25 minutes during peak hours.

No More Long Traffic Jams

Earlier, drivers heading towards Al Khan and Al Mamzar had to make a U-turn at a roundabout, further worsening the gridlock. With the new diversion, they can now reach home in just 3–4 minutes.

Ahmed bin Najeeb, a resident of Delma Tower, expressed his relief:

"I used to be stuck in traffic for 20 minutes just to reach my building. Now, I spend far less time on the road!"

A Long-Awaited Solution

Many residents had been waiting for years for an improvement in traffic flow.

Abdullah Alshami, who works in Business Bay and lives in Al Khan Tower, shared his experience:

"My home is just a few hundred meters from the Sharjah border, but it used to take me more than 20 minutes to get there. Now, it’s just 3 minutes! This has completely changed my daily routine."

Saving Time and Fuel

The new diversion not only makes commuting easier but also reduces fuel consumption.

Sameer Khan, a resident of Central Tower, noticed the positive impact:

"Previously, I spent 20–30 minutes stuck in traffic after entering Sharjah, which meant extra fuel consumption. Now, with a smooth drive, I’m saving on petrol!"

Hopes for Further Improvements

Residents hope authorities will introduce more traffic solutions in other congested areas.

"The city is expanding, and the number of vehicles is increasing. This diversion is a great improvement, but we would love to see similar changes in other parts of Sharjah."

✅ Вывод: Новый объезд значительно улучшил дорожную ситуацию, сократив пробки и время в пути. Теперь жители могут быстрее добираться домой, меньше тратить на топливо и наслаждаться комфортной поездкой.
