The design study approves the concept only. Works on the road reserve start after the construction NOC and sidewalk modification permit are issued.
RTA Access Design Study Dubai
The RTA Access Design Study is the concept stage for a new or modified plot access in Dubai. RTA reviews where the access sits, its width and how it connects to the road before the developer NOC and the construction stage.

- DLTM drawings: developers such as Nakheel return drawings that are not PDF plus AutoCAD DLTM.
- Outside the plot limit: kerb, verge and interlock works are in the road reserve.
- No early works: concept approval alone does not allow works on site.
- Deposit refund: after the works are inspected and accepted.

RTA Access Design Study Dubai — FAQs
What is an RTA access design study?
The concept-stage RTA review of a new or modified plot access — position, width and connection to the road.
Is it needed in Palm Jumeirah?
Yes — on Palm Jumeirah the RTA access design study comes first, followed by the Nakheel plot access NOC.
Can I build after the design study?
No — you still need the construction NOC and sidewalk modification permit.
Do you prepare the access drawings?
Yes — we survey the site and prepare access, kerb, interlock and tie-in drawings in AutoCAD (DLTM) and PDF.
Can works start before all approvals?
No — access, kerb and interlock works should start only after the RTA construction NOC and sidewalk modification permit are issued.
