Delivery Riders Thanks RTA For Building Resting Stops

With summers approaching, the Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority has initiated a project for delivery riders. The upcoming rest stops in Dubai come as a relief to delivery riders who spend more than eight hours out on the streets every day.

The stations would be situated in three locations – the first will be on Sheikh Zayed Road near the Festival Plaza at Jebel Ali Village; the second at Port Saeed next to Al Muraqabat Street 22; and the third at Ras Al Khor Industrial Area 2 close to Al Manama Street.

RTA aims to make delivery drivers happier by providing the basic services they need such as maintenance, refuelling, rest areas and restaurants. At these facilities, RTA will also provide educational material about public safety and quality regulation.

RTA has plans to construct permanent as well as temporary rest-stops for drivers to meet the rapid growth of the sector. A host of initiatives were launched to enhance the efficiency and safety of this sector, such as issuing professional rider certificates, Delivery Service Excellence Award, and holding workshops to have drivers familiar with the traffic laws for their safety and the safety of other road users.
