High Heels Banned on Jumeirah Jogging Track for Safety and Maintenance

A Proactive Step Towards Safety and Preservation

Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has implemented a footwear restriction on the Jumeirah Jogging Track at Kite Beach, prohibiting high heels. This initiative aims to ensure the safety of track users while maintaining the track’s pristine condition. With its seven-kilometer length, the track is a popular spot for joggers and walkers, making its upkeep and safety paramount.

Why Are High Heels Prohibited?

“The specially designed soft surface of the jogging track provides comfort and reduces impact on users. However, high heels can damage this delicate surface, potentially creating uneven areas that increase the risk of accidents. Even minor damage can lead to tripping hazards, posing a safety risk for those enjoying their fitness routines.

To address this, the RTA has taken proactive measures, including installing 67 warning signs along the track, reminding visitors to wear appropriate footwear.

Additional Rules for Track Users

In addition to the ban on high heels, the RTA has established several other rules to promote safe and enjoyable use of the Jumeirah Jogging Track:

  • No Skateboards or Bicycles: The track is exclusively for jogging and walking, ensuring uninterrupted exercise sessions.
  • No Sitting or Blocking: Visitors are requested not to obstruct the track to maintain a smooth flow of movement.
  • No Smoking or Littering: Keeping the area clean and enjoyable for everyone is a priority.
  • No Pets Allowed: For hygiene and safety, pets are not permitted on the track.

Choosing the Right Footwear

For those transitioning from casual outings to fitness activities, the RTA recommends wearing sports shoes or other athletic footwear. These options not only protect the track’s surface but also offer the necessary support and cushioning for physical activity, reducing the risk of injury.

Community Awareness and Cooperation

The RTA has utilized its social media platforms to communicate these guidelines effectively. Please comply with these rules to ensure the jogging track remains a safe and well-maintained facility for all. This collective effort by the community will help preserve the track’s quality for years to come.

Why It Matters

The Jumeirah Jogging Track is more than just a fitness amenity; it is a symbol of Dubai’s commitment to promoting healthy lifestyles and providing world-class infrastructure. By adhering to these regulations, users contribute to maintaining the track’s status as a premier destination for fitness enthusiasts in the UAE.
