Dr Abdullah bin Mohammed Balhaif Al Nuaimi, Minister of Public Works, has launched a new initiative (Masar) for monitoring and patrolling federal roads.

He said the ministry will run customised vehicles to conduct daily monitoring and patrolling of federal roads to report any damage to asphalt layers, lighting systems, directional signs and safety requirements. He added that his ministry allocates more than Dh150 million yearly for routine maintenance, protection and improvement of the federal road network and related infrastructure.

“Vehicles operating under the initiative will be connected with a smart e-system which will send data which will in turn enable the ministry to take prompt measures to maintain road quality,” he said , adding that these patrol vehicles will be hooked up with smart services package the ministry will launch in future.
