RTA Standard Drawings Dubai – Traffic Management Plans for Road Works

Every road works project in Dubai that requires RTA approval must be supported by drawings prepared to RTA standard. These drawings form the core of your NOC application and tell the RTA exactly how your project will manage traffic, protect workers, and maintain road safety throughout the works. HMJ Contracting prepares RTA standard drawings for all road works project types in Dubai. Call +971 50 778 9046.

What Are RTA Standard Drawings?

RTA standard drawings are technical plans prepared according to the Roads and Transport Authority’s specific requirements for format, scale, dimensions, symbols, and content. They show precisely how a road works project will be set up in terms of traffic management — including lane closures, diversion routes, equipment placement, signing distances, taper lengths, and barrier positions.

The RTA Dubai will not approve a NOC application that does not include correctly prepared standard drawings. Submissions with incorrect dimensions, missing elements, or non-standard formats are rejected and must be resubmitted — causing project delays and additional cost.

Types of RTA Standard Drawings HMJ Prepares

• Lane closure drawings — showing taper lengths, cone spacing, barrier positions, TMA location, crash cushion placement, and signing distances for single and multi-lane closures
• Road closure drawings — full closure layout with diversion route, advance signing plan, and barrier positions at all closure points
• Traffic diversion plans — approved alternative routing with all required signage locations and distances
• Right of Way works drawings — showing the extent of works within the road reserve, reinstatement details, and associated traffic management
• Construction site access drawings — showing how construction vehicles will access the site without creating hazards on adjacent roads

Key Elements of RTA Standard Traffic Management Drawings

• Correct taper lengths calculated for the road’s posted speed limit
• TMA positioning relative to the work crew
• Crash cushion placement at barrier ends and taper terminations
• Advance signing distances to RTA specifications
• Arrow board placement for multi-lane closures and night works
• Emergency access routes maintained and clearly shown
• All dimensions in metric to RTA scale requirements
• Standard RTA symbols and drawing conventions used throughout
