Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) continues to conduct periodic field visits across the right-of-way of Dubai Metro and Dubai Tram networks as part of its ongoing efforts to safeguard rail assets, ensure the highest levels of operational safety, and strengthen compliance with regulations governing activities within the Railway Protection Zone in the Emirate of Dubai.
Elaborating further, Mohammed Al Ameeri, Director of Rail Right-of-Way, Rail Agency, RTA, said: “A total of 7,129 field visits were conducted across the rail right-of-way of Dubai Metro and Dubai Tram during 2025. These visits led to the identification of several technical observations, which were addressed immediately by RTA’s field teams in accordance with approved procedures. The necessary corrective measures were implemented to ensure the continuity of safe operations and mitigate any potential risks that could affect infrastructure integrity or train movement.”
Al Ameeri added: “We also carried out 11 inspection campaigns during the past year in cooperation with several real estate developers and relevant entities. These campaigns covered all lines and stations across the rail network to ensure compliance with approved safety standards, monitor infrastructure readiness, and assess the performance of contractors operating within the Railway Protection Zone. They also enabled us to identify any observations that could impact the safety of passengers and users of Dubai Metro and Dubai Tram.”
