RTA, please take heed. I am surprised that no one ever raised this observation, particularly the DIFC community. The morning traffic backlog in DIFC is attributed to the continuous stream of pedestrians crossing from the metro station to the DIFC cluster. I do respect the rights of pedestrians at zebra crossings but some individuals just stroll or meddle with their smartphones in the middle of road – oblivious of the traffic build-up on both ends! Please install a pedestrian light since this will help the traffic flow and ensure pedestrians cross the road within a stipulated timeframe. Nate, DIFC
