There were tailbacks in many of the usual problem spots in Sharjah this morning.

The Sharjah ring road was slow in sections, including past Sharjah Industrial Area Eight, as well as where it links to Beirut Street. The problems continued on to Beirut Street and up to Dubai Cattle Market.

Third Industrial Street was also slow approaching Beirut Street as was the E311 Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, starting before Al Thiqah Club for the Handicapped, past the National Paints factory and running right up to Dubai International Airport.

There were also tailbacks on the S116 Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Street, starting in Sharjah Industrial Area Four up to Sharjah graveyard. It was also slow on sections of D97 Amman Street, as well as D95 Baghdad Street approaching the junction with Amman Street.

And there were the usual delays on the E11 Al Itihad Street, from the Adnoc garage up to Dubai International Airport.

In Dubai there were tailbacks on sections of D61 Hessa Street, where it joins D54 Sheikh bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Street and further up past the Enoc garage.

Traffic was moving well in Abu Dhabi.
