Lane Closure Permit Dubai – RTA Application, Drawings, and Implementation

Closing a lane on a Dubai road without RTA approval is illegal and dangerous. A lane closure permit from RTA Dubai is required before any contractor can restrict a traffic lane for construction, maintenance, utility works, or any other purpose. HMJ Contracting handles the full lane closure permit process — from drawings and RTA submission to on-site implementation with all required safety equipment. Call +971 50 778 9046.

What Is an RTA Lane Closure Permit?

An RTA lane closure permit is the formal approval that authorises a contractor to temporarily close one or more lanes on a multi-lane public road in Dubai. It is issued after the RTA reviews and approves the traffic management plan, lane closure drawings, and equipment schedule submitted by the contractor. The permit specifies the exact lanes to be closed, approved working hours, required safety equipment, and advance signing requirements.
