TrafQuest is proud to announce that we have recently been contracted by Dubai Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) to update the current Dubai Access Management Manual (DAMM). TrafQuest was the author of the current manual, which was completed more than a decade ago, and now we are being trusted by RTA again to update it. The purpose of the manual is to regulate all access to and from all roads open to the public within the Emirate of Dubai. The management of access is a key element in the preservation of the functional integrity of the Dubai Road network and the protection of public safety. Access Management is the consideration of the location, type and design of vehicular access points along a roadway. It is the recognition that vehicular movements at each access point will have measurable and accumulative impact on the traffic flow and safety of the roadway for all modes of travel within the right-of-way. By the application of access management principles, techniques and standards, the potential adverse implications can be prohibited or mitigated.

 Some of the proven benefits of having a strong and modern Access Management Manual include:

• Reduces road crashes, lowering pain, suffering and costs to motorists.
• Improves capacity, reducing reconstruction needs and costs.
• Reduces travel time and delay - Reduces congestion - Provides smoother traffic flow.
• Improves pedestrian and cyclist mobility and safety.
• Improves the efficiency of buses on public roads.
• Supports sustainability – preserves the capacity and speed as intended.
• Maintains the designated function of the roadway.
• Cost effective – low-cost improvements have significant results.
• Preserves market areas for businesses and commerce.
• Improves business customer safety and convenience.
• Ensures more efficient freight movement.
• Provides opportunities to improve roadway aesthetics.

TrafQuest is proud to announce the successful completion of the Traffic Impact Study for Emaar’s Arabian Ranches III Master Community. Arabian Ranches III is one of the largest gated villa communities in Dubai. It is a home to a collection of luxury villas, townhouses, and a few low-rise apartments. The master plan community is in Wadi al Safa 5, Dubai.  Once completed, the community will generate close to 5,000 vehicle trips per peak hour.
