Traffic is slow in the usual problem spots across the UAE this morning.

There are tailbacks on Al Ittihad Street in Sharjah Dubai-bound, starting from the Adnoc garage and running all the way up to Dubai International. Traffic is also moving slowly on Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Street in Sharjah through Industrial Area Four down to The International School Choueifat.

It is also slow going on the Sharjah Ring Road in Industrial Area Seven. And there are tailbacks on Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road, all the way from Al Thiqah Club for the Handicapped, past National Paints up to Dubai International Airport.

In Dubai, traffic is crawling on Al Manama Street, right from the interchange with Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road to International City. Traffic is also slow in Al Barsha on Street 39 past the Jebel Ali Racecourse and down to JVC District 11. And there are tailbacks in Jebel Ali on Al Yalayis Street, from Sheikh Zayed Road to the Al Furjan area.

Traffic is moving well in the capital.
