Why It Matters
- These radars use AI/computer vision to automatically detect infractions like mobile use, seat belts, lane violations and more—then trigger review by officers.
- Deployed widely on highways and urban roads, they’re part of Dubai’s efforts to reduce accidents—road deaths dropped from 21.7/100k (2007) to 1.8/100k (2024).
How to Avoid Fines
- Stay within all posted speed limits.
- Always wear a seat belt and maintain safe headway.
- Use hands-free devices only—no handheld phone use.
- Keep window tints within approved limits.
- Avoid abrupt lane changes, tailgating, illegal turns, noisy mods.
- Renew licenses, registrations on time and adhere to traffic rules.
With these smart radars watching, even small oversights can result in hefty fines, black points, impoundment or hefty release fees—especially for serious violations like red-light running. Drive smart, stay alert, and help make Dubai roads safer and smarter.
