As students in Fujairah prepare to head back to the classroom on Monday, August 31, local authorities are urging parents to brace for potential traffic delays. Ongoing infrastructure and road improvement projects across the emirate are likely to disrupt normal travel patterns, making the morning commute more challenging than usual. With over a million students returning to schools nationwide and thousands of buses hitting the road, officials are emphasizing the importance of planning ahead, leaving home earlier, and considering alternative routes to navigate around active construction zones.

To manage the expected congestion, the Fujairah Police have announced an intensified presence around educational institutions and key intersections. Officers will be actively regulating vehicle movement and patrolling high-traffic areas to ensure safety and prevent bottlenecks. Officials have reminded motorists to strictly adhere to speed limits, follow temporary traffic diversions, and avoid haphazard parking near school zones. By cooperating with authorities and prioritizing student safety, the community can help facilitate a smooth and orderly start to the 2026–2027 academic year.
