Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has finished installing new street lights in key areas, including Umm Suqeim 1, Abu Hail, and Al Baraha. This work is part of the 2024–2026 Street Lighting Plan, which aims to light up 40 areas across Dubai by the end of 2026.

This plan is an important part of RTA’s goal to improve the city's road network and infrastructure. By updating street lights, RTA aims to make Dubai’s streets safer, brighter, and more welcoming for everyone, while also supporting the city’s growth and expansion.

The lighting projects include the installation of 959 poles and 1,010 LED lights. The work also involved laying down 47,140 meters of underground cables. These new lights use the latest technology to improve safety for both drivers and pedestrians while saving energy. The lights are also environmentally friendly, which helps reduce energy use and supports Dubai’s goals for a greener city.

Hussain Al Banna, CEO of the Traffic and Roads Agency at RTA, explained that RTA has focused on using smart, energy-saving technology that works well with the UAE’s weather. "These new lights will make roads safer and help us build a more sustainable city," he said. "We’ve installed 959 poles and 1,010 LED lights, and laid 47,140 meters of underground cables in Umm Suqeim 1, Abu Hail, and Al Baraha."
