IF you guys know the roads inside out am sure it will take u 45 minutes or even less to go where you want to go.

You probably have a 4x4 and use the desert route

By the way it took me 35 minutes yesterday to get from my house at the first interchange to my friend's house near Lamcy! Which is usually a 10-minute drive

Does Dubai need more roads and motorway?

I heard there will be new Tram/Train on the roads.

they are building the dubai metro

Come winter, I abandon the car and take to 2 wheels!

The other night it took 1 hour...to get from Trade Centre to Bur Juman! Missed my booking on the Bateau Dubai and the miserable sods would just not wait, even though they knew we were nearly there. Bunch of arse!

The road system is a nightmare...but its the price of progress.

Lets hope the city is not completely jammed by the time Dubai Metro comes along, first line supposed to open end of 2009, that's still another 2 years away.

I went to Sharjah the other morning, traffic was fine from Dubai to Sharjah. I made my way back at around midday and the traffic was still backed up to the border, with the main problem, as usual being the Gladari underpass. took me over an hour from Al Khan to Trade Centre.

One observation, everone was alone in their car, if we were able to Car Pool, it would half the amount of cars on the road (in theory), needs education and a campagne.

Any thoughts???

Yes RTA needs to create an HOV (High Occupancy Vehcile) Lane where only cars with two or more passengers can use during rush hour. This is implemented in many big cities in the US and works pretty good.
