Police stressed the need to observe posted speed limits and maintain a safe distance from vehicles ahead, allowing sufficient time and space to brake when traffic slows down or stops suddenly.
Motorists were also urged to avoid repeatedly sounding their horns to intimidate other drivers or force them to give way. Police called for greater patience and consideration on the roads, particularly in busy traffic conditions.
Maintaining lane discipline was another key focus of the advisory. Drivers were reminded to remain within designated lanes, an important precaution when sharing roads with large trucks, freight vehicles and heavy machinery.
The guidance forms part of Fujairah Police’s ongoing efforts to improve traffic flow, protect motorists and other road users, and promote safer driving practices across the emirate.
Reinforcing its commitment to public safety, the police headquarters reiterated its message: “We work for your safety and happiness.”
