Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates - Thursday, January 29th 2015 [ME NewsWire]
The
Al Ain Traffic Section affiliated with the Directorate of Traffic and
Patrols at the Abu Dhabi Police distributed awareness brochures in hopes
of curtailing run-over accidents. In accordance with the strategy of
the Abu Dhabi Police, the initiative focused on benefiting pedestrians
on roads.
Major Salah Abdulalh Al Humairi, Chief of the

falls within the pedestrian safety campaign that was recently launched
by the Ministry of Interior under the slogan “Ensuring Pedestrians’
Safety”. This initiative aims to enhance awareness amongst both drivers
and pedestrians regarding the need to adhere to traffic rules in a bid
to avoid run-over incidents.
Adding further, Al Hemairi
urged drivers to comply with the rules and regulations of traffic and
to give priority to pedestrians who use the designated crosswalks in
order to maintain their safety and the safety of road users. “This would
contribute to achieving the highest levels of traffic safety for all
and to curtail incidents related to traffic and run-overs,” he said.
For
his part, Lieutenant Nasser Khalifa Al Shamesi, Manager of the Public
Relations Branch at Al Ain Traffic Section, warned pedestrians and
motorists about the consequences of violating the laws and instructions
of traffic – which may result in run-over accidents. Moreover, he
appealed to pedestrians to use the designated crosswalks and to comply
with pedestrian signals at intersections.
