The continuous traffic congestion on Dubai - Al Ain Road (E66) and Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311) at the cloverleaf interchange, located near Dubai Silicon Oasis (DSO)-Dubai, United Arab Emirate, was studied. The solution developed to ease the congestion on this interchange by adopting additional ramps to facilitate free flow traffic movement and thus improving the Level of Service (LOS) based on the operational conditions of the facility. Based on the study, the benefits of improving the traffic congestion include: (1) easing the flow of vehicles, (2) increasing road users’ satisfaction, (3) reducing air pollution as well as fuel consumption, and (4) increasing the safety of road users. Overall, the ability to keep continuous flow of traffic will result in large savings of time and vehicle operation costs, and contribute to the convenience and comfort of road users.
