“Friday night, 10 pm to 2 am” can be entered against a single calendar date in one document and two dates in another. The four-hour duration is clear; the intended occupation dates may not be. Put a full local date and time beside each end of an overnight work window.
Example: distinguish the lift from the occupation
A hypothetical booking starts Friday at 22:00, with equipment recovery ending Saturday at 02:00. The main activity may take only part of that interval. Show when traffic setup begins and when the public area is expected to be available again. These example hours are not an approved Dubai work period.
Compare the records side by side
| Record | What to check |
|---|---|
| Supplier booking | Arrival date, dispatch contact and recovery slot |
| Traffic drawing or programme | Setup, working and removal stages on the correct dates |
| Authority record | Actual issued limits, dates, hours and conditions |
RTA’s temporary occupation service asks applicants to describe the activity and its duration. Use consistent inputs, then check what was actually issued. A calendar invitation or a booking that rolls into the next day does not extend an authority permission.
Handle midnight handover explicitly
Identify the supervisor on each side of the shift change. If an operation overruns, record the actual position and escalate while there is time for the responsible team to respond. Avoid changing only the supplier calendar and leaving the traffic team with the previous date.
Read the night-time AC replacement guide for site readiness and managing a casting overrun for the effect of an approaching deadline.
Check the applicable scope with RTA’s temporary Right-of-Way occupation service. Request an HMJ project review or call +971 50 778 9046.
