Evening commuters travelling from Dubai to Sharjah may face a significantly longer journey time, potentially doubling their usual commute. Google Maps indicates heavy congestion around the Dubai-Sharjah border, with the route to Sharjah experiencing particularly slow traffic. The journey from central Dubai to the Sharjah Science Museum could take around 1 hour and 26 minutes via a 29km stretch, but an alternative route takes 86 minutes and a longer route 50 minutes.
Drivers heading towards central Sharjah also face delays on connecting roads, while sections of E311 show slower traffic. For those travelling from Sharjah towards Dubai, the journey takes approximately 36 minutes on a 35.4km route, 38 minutes on a 37.2km route, and 46 minutes on a 34km coastal alternative. However, heading into Sharjah during rush hour is more challenging, with delays on E88 and connections with E311 and industrial area roads.
While E611/Emirates Road remains relatively clear, drivers should check their intended exits to avoid restrictions and adjust their plans accordingly. Speeding fines up to Dh3,000 are being imposed as part of a new road safety initiative.
