The Abu Dhabi Police are giving out digital stickers with traffic awareness campaign messages to vehicles at security checkpoints at the entry roads of Abu Dhabi. The move aims to promote road safety in the emirate.
Traffic personnel are fixing the stickers containing a barcode on vehicles' windshields.
On scanning it with their mobile phones, motorists can view a traffic awareness video that urges drivers to adhere to the traffic rules for their safety and that of other road users.
The awareness videos cover topics such as the importance of giving priority to pedestrians at zebra crossings; leaving an adequate safety distance between vehicles; adhering to traffic signals; not allowing children under the age of 10 to sit in the front seats of vehicles; and adhering to the maximum speed limits on the roads.
"The video messages will cover a different traffic topic every week to increase awareness among drivers," the police said in a statement.
Last month, the police issued a traffic law that hiked fines and defined new rules for vehicle impoundmentr.
The new policy that took effect on September 9 had listed out a number of offences punishable by impoundment as well as fines of up to Dh50,000.
The violations include street racing, driving a automobile without valid number plates, inflicting damage to police vehicles, jumping the red light, failure to allow priority to pedestrians crossing the road, sharp deviation, causing associate degree accident because of excessive speed and tailgating, among others.
