Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has warned motorists of rolling road closures on November 16 as the city hosts the T100 Triathlon World Championship. Jumeirah Street, Al Athar Street and portions of Al Meydan Road will be shut between 06:00 and 07:30, while Al Manama Street faces lane restrictions during the 80-kilometre cycling segment.
To keep traffic moving on alternative corridors, Salik tolls at key gates will rise temporarily to AED 6 during the 06:00-10:00 morning peak, reverting to the usual AED 4 afterwards. Motorists are urged to leave early, follow posted diversions and use real-time navigation apps.

Although the disruption is short, mobility managers at multinational companies with offices in Dubai’s coastal districts have alerted staff to stagger start times or work remotely. Airport transfer firms are also adjusting pick-up windows for departing passengers to avoid missed flights at DXB.
The alert illustrates how large sporting events can affect business travel even when aviation schedules remain unchanged. Companies should monitor RTA channels and factor Salik surcharges into ride-hailing budgets when planning client visits on race weekends.
