Hence, plan your route ahead. Look for notifications from the Road and Transport Authority (RTA).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If possible, avoid peak hour traffic between 10 AM and 2 PM.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GPS or Google Maps may help find alternative routes to prevent rush hour traffic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to navigate traffic without offending others, you must be patient and accept delays. Follow the rules and drive safely to enjoy the incredible light shows, fireworks, dance, music, and shopping. Taking public transit, such as metro trams and buses, or using car rental services like Careem or Uber, may be helpful at rush hour. Avoid driving while under the influence of alcohol. If you plan on drinking, consider hiring a driver or employing a vehicle service.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: black;\"><b>Car Maintenance<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep the car in good running condition to prevent unexpected breakdowns or repairs.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Regular Service: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the car is due for regular car service, you can&#8217;t afford to miss it ahead of New Year&#8217;s Eve.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: black;\"><b>Vehicle Maintenance Checklist<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Oil Change: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the oil has become dirty, it should be changed so as to prevent engine damage.

Sheikh Zayed Road, Burj Khalifa Street, and Mohammed Bin Rashid Boulevard will close at 4 p.m. on December 31. To make things easier, consider hopping on the Dubai Metro, which will run continuously from 5 AM on December 31 until midnight on January 1. And if public transport isn&#8217;t your thing, no worries; there will be 29,000 taxis available to help you get around the city.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For more details, check out the full article on Khaleej Times <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.khaleejtimes.com\/uae\/transport\/dubai-to-close-sheikh-zayed-road-other-key-routes-on-new-years-eve-timings-announced\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">here<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">The comprehensive traffic management plan for 2024 New Year&#8217;s Eve celebrations in Dubai. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/MyDubaiNewYear2024?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#MyDubaiNewYear2024<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/wU69xHbVHe\">pic.twitter.com\/wU69xHbVHe<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Dubai Media Office (@DXBMediaOffice) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DXBMediaOffice\/status\/1740375801005060103?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 28, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep your car ready for the holiday season.
