On January 11, 2026, a sudden power outage in Sharjah caused failure of traffic lights across several busy areas including Al Majaz, Al Taawun, and Jamal Abdul Nasser Street, along with nearby residential and commercial neighborhoods. The blackout began around noon, leading to potential risks of accidents and severe traffic congestion.
Demonstrating remarkable quick thinking and community spirit, delivery riders took the initiative to manage traffic during the outage. They guided vehicles safely through intersections, helping to maintain order and protect both drivers and pedestrians while authorities worked to restore electricity.
The prompt actions of these riders were crucial in preventing major disruptions during the busy midday period. Power was fully restored later the same day, bringing much-needed relief to the affected zones.
Residents and drivers expressed their gratitude to the delivery riders for their unexpected but effective assistance. This incident underscores the importance of community cooperation in overcoming urban challenges.
