UAE ensures safe school return with integrated traffic plan

Increased traffic presence around schools

The Federal Traffic Council directed the intensification of traffic patrols around schools and on major roads, including intersections and internal and external routes, particularly during morning hours and after school dismissal. The measures aim to regulate traffic, reduce accidents, facilitate school bus movement, and ensure safe pedestrian crossings for students.

Call for driver awareness and compliance

The Council urged motorists to remain vigilant, reduce speed near schools, comply with traffic laws, and come to a complete stop when a school bus displays its “Stop” sign. Drivers were also encouraged to cooperate with traffic patrols to support smoother traffic flow and enhance overall road safety.
