Abstract
The road network in Emirate of Abu Dhabi (UAE) features dedicated truck roads. These roads were designed to reduce traffic conflict between light vehicles and trucks and therefore reduce the number of traffic crashes between them, which usually leads to a large number of fatalities and severe injuries. Abu Dhabi-Al Ain Truck Road (E30) is one of the most vital routes in the Emirate; it links Abu Dhabi city with the rest of other Emirate’s cities. Moreover, it is a vital arterial road for accessing a number of important economic facilities and border crossings between the UAE and Oman. Although the road is dedicated to trucks only, it’s been observed that a large number of light vehicles are using it as their preferred route option. This paper aims to identify the current status of traffic safety on E-30 truck road by investigating the contributing factors that affect the occurrence and severity of its crashes.
