Dubai has made significant strides in enhancing pedestrian safety, recording a dramatic 97% reduction in pedestrian deaths in 2024. This remarkable achievement is largely attributed to the opening of two new pedestrian bridges this year, which complement the total of six pedestrian and cyclist bridges constructed across key streets in the city.
These bridges are a crucial part of Dubai’s broader efforts to create a safer environment for both residents and visitors by:
- Reducing accidents involving pedestrians and cyclists
- Providing secure pathways for people to walk and cycle safely
Officials have noted that the new infrastructure has played a significant role in the sharp decline in fatalities, marking a major success in public safety initiatives. The city remains committed to:
- Improving traffic conditions
- Ensuring community protection
- Enhancing urban planning with a focus on pedestrian safety
Residents have expressed appreciation for the improved accessibility and security offered by the pedestrian bridges. Dubai’s leadership in pedestrian safety may inspire other cities to adopt similar measures to safeguard their populations.
Looking forward, Dubai plans to continue its focus on safe mobility by implementing more projects aimed at pedestrian and cyclist safety. Stay tuned to Questiqa World News for the latest updates on these developments.
