Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) and Dubai Police have announced that trucks will be permitted to use all roads across the emirate around the clock until Wednesday evening, March 4, 2026, in a move aimed at supporting the logistics sector and ensuring the smooth flow of supply chains.

The temporary measure allows heavy vehicles to operate without the usual time-based restrictions, helping transport and logistics companies maintain operations efficiently during the specified period.
