Police urge caution amid reduced visibility
As the Gulf’s winter season approaches, police forces across the UAE issued separate advisories related to road safety and adverse weather.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Dubai Police cautioned motorists against poor driving practices that can worsen traffic issues. “To stay safe on the road, avoid sudden braking,” the force wrote, advising drivers to “anticipate traffic conditions and brake smoothly to maintain control of your vehicle.”
Separately, the Abu Dhabi Police took preventative measures, activating speed reduction systems on several major inter-emirate roads due to reduced visibility from fog.
The police force called on drivers to “exercise caution due to reduced visibility during the fog” and urged them to follow the changing speed limits displayed on electronic information boards. The default speed was temporarily reduced to 80 km/h on segments of the Abu Dhabi – Al Ain Road, including the stretch between Al Faya Bridge and Al Muhairi Tunnel, as well as the Al Taf Road between Seih Al Tuwaisa and Al Saad Bridge.
