Dubai: As of January 1, 2013, Emirates Road has a new name — Shaikh Mohammad Bin Zayed Road.
The name was changed under the directives of His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, in recognition of Shaikh Mohammad Bin Zayed Al Nahyan’s role in the UAE’s march of comprehensive development.
Shaikh Mohammad Bin Zayed Road is considered one of the key roads in the UAE. The 140km road, 73km of which is located in Dubai, links Dubai with the rest of the emirates.
Easing flow
Since its inauguration in 2001, the road has contributed to easing the flow of traffic for motorists and improving the movement of goods overland.
It also provides smooth passage for trucks, shortening the time they travel on the main roads, therefore ensuring the smooth flow of traffic in internal roads in Dubai and neighbouring emirates.
