There is also another cycle track here, which starts from Mushrif Park falling near Crocodile Park and thereby extends to the intersection with Sheikh Zayed Bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Street. After this, the track moves towards the north field intersection with Al Khawaneej Street. With the lanes complete, the total cycle track in the two areas will extend to 39 km. At this point, it’s worth mentioning that this development is a part of the authority’s master plan, which aims at increasing the cycle tracks from the existing 544 km to 819 km by 2026.

Finally, the Dubai RTA has dedicated the cycle lanes to amateurs, thereby keeping the speed limit at 30 km/h. While on the shared pedestrian tracks, this speed limit has been kept at 20 km/h. However, there is no speed limit for cycling training tracks.
