Abu Dhabi Police have taken proactive steps to improve road safety in the emirate by using 3D CGI technology to educate motorists on crucial safety practices when entering roads. This technology helps in reducing accidents and ensures smoother traffic flow. It is essential for drivers to follow five key rules to ensure they are clear of the road before entering. These rules include slowing down when approaching road entrances, using side warning signals, being cautious of parked vehicles, giving priority to vehicles on the main road, and ensuring the road is clear before entering.
Properly using turn signals is vital to communicate your intentions to other road users. This practice helps prevent misunderstandings and potential collisions. Additionally, drivers should be cautious of parked vehicles as they can obscure the view, making it harder to see oncoming traffic or pedestrians. Giving priority to vehicles on the main road is also crucial, as these vehicles have the right of way and failing to give them priority can result in dangerous situations. Furthermore, drivers should always double-check to ensure the road is clear before entering, as this final check is essential in preventing accidents.
By adhering to these safety guidelines, drivers can significantly contribute to reducing accidents and enhancing overall road safety. However, failure to follow these rules may result in penalties according to UAE laws. Penalties for entering the road without ensuring it is clear include a fine of Dh400 and 4 black points, while entering the road dangerously can lead to a fine of Dh600 and 6 black points. It is crucial for drivers to adhere to these rules to ensure the safety of themselves and others on the road.
