As per Brigadier Al Mazroui, Emirates Road saw 30 serious traffic accidents that resulted in 14 deaths making it the most dangerous road in Dubai.

This is followed by Sheikh Mohammad Bin Zayed road that saw 72 serious accidents and eight deaths whereas Sheikh Zayed Road witnessed 69 serious traffic accidents this year.

This was one of the reasons why the speed limit on Sheikh Mohammad bin Zayed and Emirates Road was reduced to 110km/h.
