Traffic Diversion Route Capacity & Bottleneck Review Dubai

A diversion route may be technically available but still create congestion if junctions, turning movements or access points cannot handle the redirected traffic. A practical route review helps identify bottlenecks before the diversion opens.

HMJ Contracting supports traffic diversion services in Dubai with drawings, signage and site implementation.

1. Review the Full Diversion Route

Walk or drive the route from the first diversion point to the return point.

2. Identify Junction Bottlenecks

Check locations where redirected traffic must turn, merge or cross other traffic streams.

3. Review Lane Width and Road Geometry

Confirm the route is suitable for the expected vehicle types.

4. Check Queue Storage

Consider whether queues at signals, junctions or gates could block upstream roads.

5. Review Property and Business Access

Make sure the diversion does not create unexpected conflicts at driveways or service entrances.

6. Consider Heavy and Large Vehicles

Turning requirements may differ significantly from passenger vehicles.

7. Check Pedestrian Crossings

Higher traffic volumes may affect existing pedestrian crossing points.

8. Inspect During Relevant Time Periods

Where practical, review the route during the same time period when the diversion will operate.

9. Prepare Contingency Actions

Identify what the site team should do if queues or access conflicts become unacceptable.

10. Monitor After Opening

The first live period should be monitored so actual traffic behaviour can be compared with the plan.

A capacity and bottleneck review helps make temporary diversion routes more practical and easier to manage.
