Dubai: Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) and Dubai Police are set to implement new rules restricting delivery bikes from using high-speed lanes on major roads, starting November 1, 2025.
The move aims to curb accidents, improve traffic discipline, and enhance the safety of both riders and other road users.
Under the rules, delivery riders will be prohibited from using the two leftmost lanes on roads with five lanes or more, and the leftmost lane on roads with three or four lanes. Roads with two lanes or fewer will have no lane restrictions for delivery bikes.
Hussain Al Banna, CEO of Traffic and Roads Agency at RTA, said the decision follows extensive coordination with public and private sector partners to ensure rider safety.
“The delivery sector plays a key role in driving economic development and contributes effectively to enhancing service standards and achieving health, safety, and sustainability benchmarks. This decision aligns with the objectives of Dubai’s Economic Agenda (D33) to double the size of the emirate’s economy in the years ahead, while continuously updating laws and regulations to enhance both the delivery experience and road safety — two of RTA’s top priorities,” said Al Banna.
