Jumping a red light will be fined 1,000 dirhams and 12 black points will be added to the driver’s license.
In the first six months of this year, at least 1,195 motorists were fined for running red lights on the roads of Abu Dhabi.
The Abu Dhabi police said the criminals were captured by high-tech cameras installed on various roads in the emirate.
Police investigations revealed that most drivers ran red lights because they were speeding up and trying to cross the signal before it turned red.
According to the police, running a red light is one of the most dangerous traffic violations, and it is also one of the traffic violations leading to the most fatalities and serious injuries in accidents.
Running a red light was fined 1,000 dirhams, the driver’s license was blackened by 12 points, and the car was confiscated for 30 days.
According to the Emirate of Abu Dhabi’s Law (5) of 2020 on the Seizure of Vehicles, drivers must pay AED 50,000 to release their car, and their driving license will be revoked for six months.
The police urge drivers to avoid passing when the traffic light turns amber, as this also poses a risk to other vehicles.
Officials have confirmed that traffic cameras and radars are operating throughout the day and will capture those who violate the law.
The police have installed flashless cameras at the intersections of many roads in Abu Dhabi to capture traffic violations such as running red lights, improper use of lanes, vehicles crossing the pedestrian lane, speeding, and turning or U-turning in unspecified lanes.
