Dubai bans delivery riders on fast lanes from November 1

Starting November 1, 2025, delivery riders in Dubai will face new restrictions on their use of high-speed lanes, as announced by the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) and Dubai Police. The regulations prohibit delivery motorcycles from using the two leftmost lanes on roads with five or more lanes and the leftmost lane on roads with three or four lanes. However, on roads with two lanes or fewer, riders are free to use any lane. These measures aim to address the rising number of traffic accidents involving delivery motorcycles, which have been attributed to reckless riding behavior.
