Lovin Dubai polled their WhatsApp followers on how long it takes to commute with back-to-school traffic, and here’s the scoop:

• 100 votes said it takes 15-30 mins (how does it feel to be God’s favorite?)
• 151 votes said it takes an hour
• 40 votes said two hours
• And 36 votes said OVER 2 hours (ouch, that’s rough!)

But…Looks like we’re all in this traffic jam together. PSST… You can join our WhatsApp fam for cool polls!

And when it comes to the most crowded street with back-to-school traffic…

The winner is… Sheikh Zayed Road with a whopping 150 votes! Al Khail Road, Emirates Road, and Hessa Street also made the list.

Here are some tips to (possibly) avoid traffic:

• Leave earlier or later to dodge the rush
• Take alternative routes or back roads to skip the jams
• Carpool with neighbors or colleagues—make it a fun ride
• Use public transport or park-and-ride to skip the driving stress
• Check traffic apps for real-time updates and plan ahead
• Work from home or adjust your hours if you can

Stay safe peeps!
