Last year, authorities implemented advanced driver monitoring systems and conducted intensive field campaigns, which have directly contributed to reducing dangerous behaviours on the roads, said Major General Hareb Mohammed Al Shamsi, Deputy Commander-in-Chief for Criminal Sector Affairs at Dubai Police.

Programmes aimed at raising awareness about the dangers of risky actions on the road, particularly related to use of bikes and e-scooters, are essential in reducing accidents, he added.

While authorities can help, the responsibility is not solely on them. Drivers must adhere to traffic laws and regulations, to help ensure the safety of all road users.
