Dubai has achieved a remarkable 97% decrease in pedestrian deaths in 2024, showcasing the city’s commitment to enhancing road safety for its residents and visitors. This significant reduction underscores the success of various safety initiatives and infrastructure improvements undertaken by local authorities.
New Pedestrian Bridges Unveiled
To further boost safety, Dubai has opened two new pedestrian bridges, which join the existing six pedestrian and cyclist bridges already constructed across key streets in the city. These bridges serve several important functions:
- Secure crossing points for pedestrians and cyclists.
- Separation of foot traffic from vehicle traffic on busy roads.
- Improved accessibility and encouragement of walking and cycling as safe modes of transport.
Commitment to a Pedestrian-Friendly City
Dubai’s continuous efforts demonstrate its ambition to become a pedestrian-friendly city that prioritizes the safety and convenience of non-motorized road users. The implementation of these measures not only reduces accidents but also contributes positively to public health and urban development.
