“The plan’s first target is Dubai Mall area, where the parking spaces opposite to the cinema together with the Trade Centre's yards will be utilised as additional parking spaces in case all Dubai Mall car parks are full.
“The plan also includes operating shuttle bus service to take visitors to the mall, besides installing necessary directional signs," he said.

"Directional signs,” added Al Banna, “Will be set up to guide motorists to use alternative routes within the Business Bay area rather than thronging the Financial Centre Street, to ease the traffic pressure on roads in the area.
