By 2026, Dubai will have more than 800 km of bike paths, and it has speed restrictions for cyclists. The city has revealed plans for additional cycling lanes and regulations as it strives to become a magnet for bikers. According to Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), Al Khawaneej and Mushrif's bike routes have 90% of their development completed. The 32km of existing bicycle paths in the two locations are connected by this 7km section, bringing the combined length of riding paths in the two districts to 39km.
The first track extends from Sheikh Zayed bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Street's Quranic Garden all the way to Al Khawaneej Street's junction. To connect to the already-existing bike track in Al Khawaneej, it crosses the street via the Al Khawaneej Street pedestrian and bicycle bridge.
The second bike lane stretches from Mushrif Park, which is close to Crocodile Park, to the intersection with Sheikh Zayed bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Street before turning northward and continuing to Al Khawaneej Street. To link with the cycling track in Al Khawaneej, it crosses the roadway through the pedestrian and bicycle bridge on Sheikh Zayed bin Hamdan Al Nahyan roadway.
As a result, Al Khawaneej and Mushrif's current bicycle lanes and the two new ones together comprise around 39 kilometres in length.
A master plan to build bike tracks and link important metropolitan neighbourhoods includes the cycling track in Al Khawaneej and Mushrif. By 2026, the plan calls for Dubai's total cycling track length to increase from its current 544 km to 819 km.
The exterior road tracks at Al Qudra, Seih Al Salam, and Nad Al Sheba will be connected to the coastal communities of Jumeirah, Al Sufouh, and the Marina through Al Barsha, Dubai Hills, and Nad Al Sheba.
RTA has imposed a 30 km/h speed restriction on amateur cyclists only and shared bike paths to make roadways safer. It established a 20 km/h speed restriction in urban areas on designated or shared paths with pedestrians. However, there are no established speed restrictions on bike training tracks. Speed limitations have been implemented for bike lanes to safeguard the safety of both pedestrians and cyclists.
