Removing a structure or wall that's partially encroaching can affect the structural integrity of what remains on your property — a structural assessment before removal ensures the remaining structure stays sound and doesn't create a new safety issue.
RTA ROW Removal Notice Dubai | Your Options & Next Steps
A removal notice from RTA is more serious than a standard violation notice — it means RTA has determined a structure or encroachment cannot be regularised and must be removed by a set deadline. Structural Solutions helps you respond to and comply with RTA ROW removal notices.

Removal Notice vs Violation Notice
A violation notice often still leaves room to apply for regularisation; a removal notice typically means that door has closed — RTA has assessed the encroachment and determined removal is the required outcome, usually because it affects road safety, drainage, or planned infrastructure.
