Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum, the Crown Prince of Dubai, has announced that Dubai is set to become a bicycle-friendly city after new road safety laws and infrastructure to support riders are put in place. Speaking at a Dubai Police event on August 13, he urged authorities to adopt global best practices to develop the emirate with a bicycle-friendly infrastructure.
The announcement is part of the objectives of Dubai Vision 2021, which aims to strengthen the city as the world’s most preferred place to live, work and visit.
It also supports the objectives of the Dubai Traffic Strategy 2021 that seeks to reduce road fatalities and the UAE Energy Strategy 2050s, which aims to achieve a 16 per cent reduction in carbon emissions by 2021.
The participants at the event suggested forming a task force that can work on developing the infrastructure, promoting a bicycle culture and introducing rules and laws that will ensure the safety of cyclists.
On August 9, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Vice President and Ruler of Dubai, was seen cycling around the city with his entourage using dedicated cycle path and wearing helmets.
