Lighting infrastructure is also a priority, with over 195,000 energy-efficient lighting poles maintained to enhance visibility and reduce energy consumption. The Roads Defects Maintenance Section swiftly responds to potholes, cracks, damaged signs, and other safety hazards through daily operations.

These ongoing maintenance initiatives demonstrate Abu Dhabi’s commitment to creating a resilient, sustainable, and flood-resistant urban environment that prioritizes the safety and convenience of all residents.
