Dubai roads just got a lot more safer, and stricter!
New smart radars that will catch traffic violations at intersections have been developed and installed at key intersections in the emirate.
Twenty-eight new radars have come up, which will monitor aggressive driving behaviour at intersections, such as not stopping at the red signal, making sudden turns and speeding.

The Dubai Police has ordered the traffic department to develop radars which will catch drivers even before they enter the signal zone at an intersection.
The new radars have been installed at Damascus street, Haleb street and other areas.
According to Colonel Saif Muhair Al Mazroui, director of General Department of Traffic, the police has noticed that many drivers have been committing dangerous violations at intersections, such as sudden U-turns, sudden lane change, etc.

He said advanced radars were being used in Europe and were found to be efficient. They work according to vibrations, he said. If the radar catches a violation, an SMS is sent out to the control centre immediately.
He said the radars have the capability of monitoring the violation from a distance and can capture a video within 10 seconds.
He said that old radars can monitor red signal violations in case the car exceeds what is known as the imaginary line, a line before the signal distance of up to 50 meters, and if the driver drives through during a red light then the violation can be recorded immediately. But if the driver crosses the signal when the light is yellow, the device would not be able to capture the offence.
He pointed out that the new radar is completely different. It can monitor the speed of the car from a distance, and determines whether an offence has taken place. It then records a video of the offence.
The radar can also monitor yellow box violations, dangerous overtaking and U-turns from non-designated areas.
