Overview
- Initial runs at the Marrakech Street–Rebat Street junction used short traffic closures to maintain public safety.
- Early measurements showed one side of a signal could be cleaned in three to four minutes.
- Operational time fell by 25–50% and estimated costs dropped by up to 15% compared with conventional methods.
- RTA will continue the pilot with a next phase to refine techniques, ensure high safety standards, and avoid disrupting traffic flow.
- Officials say savings could reach about 25% as drone technology improves, building on earlier drone cleaning trials for metro and tram station facades.
