How Dubai keeps its roads among the world’s best

Dubai's road network is among the world's most advanced, according to a sophisticated system maintained by the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA). The authority has recorded a 95 per cent "excellent" rating for its road network assets under its Road Network Asset Condition Index (ACI), which highlights the high standard of roads and infrastructure across the emirate.

This achievement places Dubai among leading cities globally in road asset management and reflects RTA's growing use of smart technologies to ensure roads, signs, barriers, lighting, traffic signals, and other infrastructure remain safe, efficient, and in good condition. The ACI measures the structural and operational condition of road assets on a scale of 0 to 100, allowing RTA to identify maintenance priorities early, plan interventions, and manage infrastructure throughout its lifecycle.
