Sheikh Dr Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi announced the measure during a Sharjah Broadcasting Corporation interview, citing significant disruption from heavy truck movement through urban areas. Government departments in Al Dhaid will relocate to purpose-built facilities between Al Dhaid University Square and Al Dhaid Square, with a new Municipality building also constructed as an architectural landmark. The Sharjah Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) and Sharjah Police had previously implemented time-based truck bans on specified highways to regulate heavy transport and support the logistics sector while maintaining road safety.
