RTA Standard Drawings Dubai – Preparation of Drawings for NOC Approval
RTA standard drawings are the foundation of every road works permit application in Dubai. The RTA will not approve an NOC without correctly prepared traffic management drawings that meet their specific format, scale, symbol, and dimensional requirements. HMJ Contracting prepares RTA standard drawings for all project types across Dubai. Call +971 50 778 9046.
What RTA Standard Drawings Must Show
- Full work zone layout — advance warning zone, taper, activity area, and termination
- Taper lengths calculated for the road’s posted speed limit
- TMA vehicle positioning with following distance specified
- Crash cushion placement at all fixed hazard points
- Barrier positions, types, and lengths
- Sign positions with exact distances from the work zone
- Arrow board placement for multi-lane closures
- Pedestrian routing where footpaths are affected
- Emergency vehicle access routes
- Diversion routes for road closure projects
Common Drawing Errors That Cause NOC Rejection
- Taper lengths too short for the road speed
- TMA not shown or shown in the wrong position
- Crash cushion missing from barrier termination points
- Signs placed at incorrect distances
- Drawing scale not meeting RTA requirements
- Missing legend or non-standard symbols used
