In addition, an analysis of offences involving excessive vehicle noise, reckless driving and illegal vehicle modifications identified the vehicle categories most frequently associated with such violations. These findings will then help guide targeted enforcement operations, identify priority audiences for awareness campaigns and support preventive measures aimed at reducing dangerous driving, said Dubai Police's Commander-in-Chief Lieutenant General Abdulla Khalifa Al Marri.
The authority has also repeatedly warned pedestrians of jaywalking. According to Article 89 of UAE's Federal Traffic Law, pedestrians who disregard traffic signals or cross roads at undesignated locations can be fined Dh400.
