Dubai’s population has been steadily growing, reaching nearly 3.653 million in December 2023. This has resulted in more vehicles on the road – 3.9 million as of September 2023, as per the emirate’s toll gate operator Salik. These vehicles made 437 million trips during the first 9 months of 2023 through the Salik gates.
Amidst growing traffic, Dubai Police run road safety campaigns time and again to raise awareness among motorists. To ensure the safety of residents and pedestrians, police have put in place three types of penalties – fines, black points and vehicle confiscation – for violating traffic laws of the emirate. Vehicles are confiscated for serious violations, ranging between 7 days to 90 days.
