This comes as part of a package of traffic improvement projects that the authority is implementing at the emirate level, in implementation of the directives of His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, and the intensive follow-up of Sheikh Sultan bin Mohammed bin Sultan Al Qasimi, Crown Prince and Deputy Ruler of Sharjah and Chairman of the Sharjah Executive Council, to develop road networks in accordance with the highest international standards for traffic safety to achieve sustainable development.
