Dubai-Sharjah traffic: E11, E311 slow, accident alerts reported. Traffic is particularly slow through the Al Khan interchange area. Drivers heading towards Sharjah should expect stop-start conditions around the busier junctions and allow extra time. E311, Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, is carrying heavy traffic. The map shows a long congested stretch running through the Sharjah Industrial Area towards Muhaisnah, with several red sections around major interchanges. Accident icons are visible at multiple points, including near the Muhaisnah area and further north around the industrial zones. These incidents are likely to be adding to delays and creating knock-on congestion on connecting roads. Within Sharjah, congestion is also spreading across roads feeding E311 and E11. Industrial Area roads, including routes around Industrial Area 6 and nearby interchanges, show a combination of slow and moderate traffic. Drivers travelling between Al Nahda, Al Khan, the industrial areas and Dubai should be prepared for delays at merging points where local traffic joins the main highways. For motorists, E611, Emirates Road, remains a route worth checking if E11 or E311 becomes slower, although conditions can change quickly. The safest approach is to check live navigation immediately before leaving and avoid abrupt lane changes near congested interchanges.
