Sheikh Zayed Road, is great the drivers are crazy!! Local drivers know they own this road so they drive in a crazy dangerous manor. One rule for the locals another for us!! My suggestion would be that the ,locals follow the law. and the law enforcement officers actually enforce this .

SZR - short way of calling it. Best road to go from one emirate to another, best to avoid peak hours where possible as all 6 lanes each way can get easily blocked

This is the main artery through Dubai, E11. You must have a pair on you, or have experience driving on roads like the Autobahn. It's not Route 66 crusing. Six lanes each way, 120km/h limit (but the cameras won't tag you at 150 I've learned), 80km/h minimum make this road a crazy unique experience. If you see headlights flashing you,... More

You take your life in your hands when you drive this route through Dubai. Driving standards are shocking and the carnage you see on a day-to-day basis is quite astounding. That said, other options through Dubai are not much better.

All-in-all, a great highway, but really lacking the many necessary over/under passes that allow turning around more easily. If you miss what you wanted, you could spend anywhere from 30-60 minutes just trying to correct that 1 wrong turn, so again, great highway, but can be a real pain if you miss a turn.

Sometimes gets bogged down but for the most part gets you around Dubai in good time. Can be frustrating to get on from the side roads since some just don't connect or cross over.

This is the most used road in Dubai because here you can find 16 lanes of parallel traffic. In Dubai everybody use the car or the taxi this is the standard there.
