I have made some traffic videos by combining Dubai Municipality's (http://vgn.dm.gov.ae/webcam/) webcam pictures, I hope that you'll like these :)

Notice that the time isn't steady because sometimes the time between pictures can vary from 30min to longer than 1min, but nevertheless you get general idea about traffic in Dubai.

thanks!
yes, it's a very nice place, just the view on port rashid and the big sand parking lot is a bit disturbing. but a great view towards skyline, palm deira, corniche redevelopment,...
unfortunately we'll move to al bada next feb


and i'm still sitting in this COW TOWN öhringen :rant:

Added Hayatt Regency Juction video

wherez al bada?

wherez al bada?

you probably know the uae flag roundabout at al wasl road/jumeirah beach road junction?

Behind Al Dheyafah Street.

Is it a big housing compound? Never heard of it

there's a brown 3 floor low-rise
the building is right next to the new shaikha shakha al bada complex

look closely that hayatt regency video at 18:05 , in the right lower corner, huge amount of people coming there and crossing the road, half of the people don't even cross the road in the right place :)

great work i made few of these on my dull days
going to watch them now

this is why you hear an iiiiiiiiiiieeeeeech quite often :lol:
once a week a pedestrian is hit by a car here and they sometimes are hurled to the middle of the junction :) not joking!

something happens here every day. one night there was a huge crash in al shindagah tunnel. the sirens of police and ambulance didn't stop. i opened the window and looked what happened. many cars had to turn around and drove back the wrong way, because the street was blocked. road was closed by police.

and you won't believe it, but some guys just wanted to drive through the road block!!!! :lol:
i enjoyed the show from 1am till 5am ;)
so many crazy guys there

added new video
please tell me what are those things and are they eating the grass, if so, why? :)

:lol:
no these are gardeners
you can see them on quite every green stripe between the roads. i think they renew the grass right here.
in the afternoon you can see hundreds of them sitting in the shadow of the palms

these are the guys working hard to keep dubai green. not an easy job at all!!!

oh now I can see one standing at one point when watching the video frame by frame, they first looked so small I thought that one guy let his goats eating some grass :lol:

Mohammad orders measures to ease traffic congestion

Gulf News

Dubai: General Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Dubai Crown Prince, UAE Minister of Defence and Head of Dubai Police and Security, yesterday ordered the Dubai Traffic Committee to carry out studies to widen Garhoud Bridge and asked the Fourth Interchange Project, linking Dubai International Airport to Emirates Road be implemented.

Shaikh Mohammad also urged the committee to draw up a plan for a flyover on Shaikh Zayed Road to ease traffic congestion.

Shaikh Mohammad was briefed on traffic reports by officials from Dubai Municipality, Dubai Police and the Traffic Committee.

Lt Gen. Dahi Khalfan Tamim, Dubai Police Chief, and Qasim Sultan, Director General of Dubai Municipality, also briefed him.

Saeed Al Sharid , head of the committee, briefed Shaikh Mohammad on its plans to carry out expansions on roads that see heavy congestions.

Shaikh Mohammad instructed officials to revitalise the public transport system, which will encourage people to opt for public transport.

He ordered the committee to find solutions to the increasing number of cars on Dubai roads.

Shaikh Mohammad asked the Dubai Police Chief to order traffic police to impose the toughest of measures on reckless drivers, whom he said bring insult to themselves and harm the country's good image.

The meeting was also attended by Mohammad Al Gergawi, Chairman of Dubai Development and Investment Authority, and Maj. Gen. Musabbah Rashid Al Fattan, Director of Dubai Crown Prince's Court.
