ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates - Friday, June 28th 2013 [ME NewsWire]
The
Al Ain Traffic Section, at the Traffic and Patrols Directorate of Abu
Dhabi Police, urged motorcyclists to avoid wrong overtaking between
vehicles, which poses a serious hazard to motorcyclists and all road
users.
Major Salah Abdullah Al Hemairi, Head of Al Ain Traffic
Section noted that the Traffic and Patrols Directorate at Abu Dhabi
Police will begin imposing penalties on all types of motorcycles that
overtake between vehicles at stop lights and intersections, causing
traffic accidents.
For his part, Captain Rashid Mohammed Al
Shamesi, Acting Manager of the Public Relations Branch noted that
officers from the Public Relations Branch at the Section have been
distributing awareness brochures to motorcyclists at a number of sites
where they gather in different areas of the city. This comes in line
with the awareness campaign carried out by the Traffic and Patrols
Directorate at Abu Dhabi Police.
“The awareness brochures urge
motorcyclists to observe the road lanes, and avoid changing lanes
suddenly or trying to enter other vehicles’ lanes so as not to put his
life and the lives of other road users at risk”, indicated Captain Al
Shamesi.
Furthermore, he emphasized that these tips are part of
the Ministry of Interior’s strategies’ initiatives to curb accidents and
enhance traffic culture among motorists throughout the year. They also
support the continuous vigorous awareness efforts exerted by Abu Dhabi
Police in this regard, represented by the Traffic and Patrols
Directorate, with a view to promote traffic and security awareness
culture, as well as provide guidance for motorists.
