Sharjah Traffic Update: New Rules for Trucks on E311 and E611 This Ramadan

The Sharjah RTA recently coordinated with police to implement specific movement timings for trucks during Ramadan. These adjustments aim to reduce traffic congestion while also enhancing safety for the thousands of daily commuters on highways. 

By restricting heavy vehicle movement during peak hours, officials hope to ensure much smoother travel for all working residents. This annual strategy remains a cornerstone of the emirate’s commitment to efficient, secure urban road management.

Daily Movement Bans in Sharjah City

Heavy vehicles will face a strict ban on all Sharjah city roads during two primary daily windows starting soon. The first restriction runs from 6:30 am until 10 am to clear the way for morning work and school runs. 

Motorists should note a second ban period that runs from 2 pm to 8 pm every day. These windows coincide with the busiest travel times when residents are heading home to break their fast with family.

Major Highway Restrictions for Heavy Vehicles

Specific highways, such as the E611 and Al Dhaid Road, will follow a similar schedule to maintain regional traffic flow. On Emirates Road, trucks are prohibited from 6:30 am to 10 am, with evening bans also applying for Sharjah-bound trips. 

Al Hibab and Al Madam roads will be prohibited to heavy vehicles during the morning hours. These measures are designed to prevent bottlenecks at critical intersections where light and heavy traffic often merge.
