Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has announced the completion of a 475-metre long bridge for pedestrians and cyclists crossing over Ras Al Khor Road (Dubai-Hatta).
Connecting International City with Al Warqaa, the bridge will ease mobility of pedestrians while linking the cycling tracks.
The speed limit for cyclists has been set at 30 km/h for dedicated cycling tracks, and 20 km/h on tracks shared with pedestrians in urban areas.

"It also echoes Dubai Traffic Safety Strategy envisioning zero fatalities to make Dubai the safest city in the world in 2021," he added.
