Dubai-Sharjah traffic: E11 slows the evening drive home

## Evening Traffic Congestion

Commuters traveling from Dubai to Sharjah are experiencing significant delays this evening, particularly on the E11 highway. Traffic is heavy as vehicles approach the Sharjah border, resulting in a stop-and-go journey for many.

## Alternative Routes

The E311, also known as Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road, is also congested, with slow-moving traffic in certain sections. However, the E611 or Emirates Road offers a less congested alternative, with mostly clear conditions between Dubai and Sharjah, despite a few slower patches.

## Route Recommendations

For those heading to central Sharjah, E611 may not be ideal due to its longer route. However, it could be a time-saving option for those traveling to outer Sharjah or beyond, especially when E311 is heavily congested.

## Traffic Beyond Sharjah

Beyond Sharjah, traffic conditions improve significantly, with smoother flows towards Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, and Ras Al Khaimah. Within Dubai, some congestion is noted on E44 and other roads leading to the main highways, but the overall network remains relatively clear.

Commuters are advised to check traffic updates before setting off to choose the best route and potentially reduce travel time.
