RTA approval is mandatory for construction, development, and infrastructure projects in Dubai that impact roads, traffic flow, parking, or access points. This includes residential buildings, commercial developments, warehouses, and mixed-use projects. RTA approval ensures that your project complies with Dubai’s road safety, traffic management, and transportation regulations.
