In an efforts to make roads safer on the first day back to school in Dubai, authorities have called on motorists to strictly adhere to traffic laws and regulations on August 26 in the 'A Day Without Accidents' campaign.
Brig Jumaa bin Suwaidan, acting director of the General Department of Traffic, said the campaign "also aligns with Dubai Police's vision for a secure city through awareness campaigns and traffic initiatives aimed at ensuring the highest levels of safety for all road users and urging drivers to follow instructions and safety guidelines diligently."

Motorists have been asked to comply with speed limits, especially in areas around schools, avoid distractions like using mobile phones, maintain a safe distance between vehicles, give priority to pedestrians crossing the road, and yield to emergency vehicles.
Drivers are urged to make a full stop at a distance of five metres when seeing the bus stop sign. Motorists who fail to comply and do not stop when the bus displays a 'stop sign' for school buses will incur a fine of Dh1,000 and 10 black points.
He also said that police aims to increase traffic awareness among the public and encourage them to adhere to traffic instructions on the first day of the school year through the "A Day Without Accidents" campaign.
"By signing the initiative's pledge, participants commit to not committing any traffic violations or accidents on the first day of school. Those who successfully complete the day without incidents will be given a traffic certificate of compliance and the opportunity to remove four black points from their driving licence. They can register and participate in the campaign through the official website of the Ministry of Interior (https://portal.moi.gov.ae/eservices/direct?scode=716&c=1)," he added.
