Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates - Sunday, July 6th 2014 [ME NewsWire]
The Abu Dhabi Police encouraged citizens and residents in the
Western Region (Al Gharbia) to become acquainted with the Etihad Rail
Project. ADP also encouraged them to become familiar with the safety
measures along the new rail network and cross using pedestrian
designated areas only.
The Department of Transport at Abu Dhabi Police provides information
about the Etihad Rail to all members of the community in Al Gharbia. The
seven-month-long campaign launched by the Etihad Rail Company
introduces the Etihad Rail Project and the new railway track, and
presents information about how to deal with it. The campaign will reach
malls, schools, workers camps, and residential areas.
Colonel Tariq Al Ghoul, Head of Department of Transport at Abu Dhabi
Police, in collaboration with the strategic partner, the Etihad Rail
Company, stressed the importance of providing public safety along
railway areas. He also pointed to the significance of encouraging people
to abide by these measures. He noted that safety measures are an
integral part of the trains operating as mechanisms that enhance the
transport network, improve transportation services, and advance networks
in order to keep pace with the development work that the UAE is
witnessing on all levels. He also indicated that police officers are
distributing awareness booklets in Al Gharbia that explain the Etihad
Rail Project and the public safety measures that the public must follow.
Some of these directions are to not jump over fences on either side of
the railway and to cross using pedestrian designated areas.
Colonel Al Ghoul added that the Department of Transport is committed
to expanding the reach of the awareness campaign and to contact people
wherever they may be prior to launching train operations. “As the
campaign continues for seven months, we will focus our campaign in the
seven Al Gharbia regions for one month each,” he explained.
The campaign includes many activities which include a bus designed as
a train that will tour Al Gharbia region and visit municipalities,
schools, malls, work camps, and residential areas. This two-story bus
will interactively spread awareness among community members and inform
them about the train’s operating mechanisms and its positive effects on
the country.
The campaign also allows the community to take advantage of the basic
tips about the rules of safety and security in the areas of railway,
including the failure to pass the perimeter fence rail and to cross in
designated areas only
