Traffic was heavy for commuters heading into Abu Dhabi at 8am on Tuesday morning, with vehicles backed up for up to 3km on Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Street.
Cars, vans and lorries were lined up along the route, also known as Salam Street, from the Mangroves to Sheikh Zayed Bridge.
Traffic was otherwise regular on the capital's roads as well as those in Dubai, with no major accidents reported.
It follows flooding and major disruption to roads, particularly in Dubai, after heavy rain hit on Sunday night and into Monday morning.

Employment lawyer Meriel Schindler of Withers Worldwide shares her tips on achieving equal pay
Do your homework
Make sure that you are being offered a fair salary. There is lots of industry data available, and you can always talk to people who have come out of the organisation. Where I see people coming a cropper is where they haven’t done their homework.
Don’t be afraid to negotiate
It’s quite standard to negotiate if you think an offer is on the low side. The job is unlikely to be withdrawn if you ask for money, and if that did happen I’d question whether you want to work for an employer who is so hypersensitive.
Know your worth
Women tend to be a bit more reticent to talk about their achievements. In my experience they need to have more confidence in their own abilities – men will big up what they’ve done to get a pay rise, and to compete women need to turn up the volume.
Work together
If you suspect men in your organisation are being paid more, look your boss in the eye and say, “I want you to assure me that I’m paid equivalent to my peers”. If you’re not getting a straight answer, talk to your peer group and consider taking direct action to fix inequality.
