What Is the RTA ROW Permit System in Dubai?

The RTA operates a Right of Way Permit System (ROWPS) that governs all works within the road reserve boundary. The system is used to apply for, track, and approve permits for activities including utility installations, road crossings, drainage works, kerb and footpath construction, and any other activity within the protected road corridor. All applications must be submitted through the RTA’s portal with the correct documentation and drawings.

Types of Works Requiring an RTA ROW Permit

• Water main and sewerage pipe installation within road reserves
• Electricity and telecommunications cable laying along roads
• District cooling pipe works in road corridors
• Road crossing installations (sleeves, ducts, and pipes under carriageways)
• Kerb, footpath, and landscape works within the ROW
• Signage and street furniture in the road reserve
• Guardrail and barrier installation along public roads
• Building connection works crossing the road reserve
